NEFF is leading a five-year, game-changing $30 million pilot project that will help forest landowners implement climate-smart forestry on 80,000 acres and build markets for climate-smart forest products.

The bioeconomy is key to a climate-secure future, and makes use of renewable, well-stewarded biological resources in place of plastic, concrete, steel and other CO2-polluting materials

Help NEFF kickstart a tall wood building revolution that will mitigate climate change, address housing affordability, and more. This program increases regional support for sustainable mass timber, and everyone is welcome.

Through this pioneering giving tool, participants donate their land to NEFF and its timber to a pooled income fund. In turn, donors receive tax benefits and an even stream of lifetime income, and their land receives permanent protection.
