Healing Harvest Forest Foundation

Healing Harvest Forest Foundation is a new 501(c)3 organization established to develop, implement and support community-based sustainable forestry initiatives, through the widespread use of animal-powered (Horse, mule, oxen, elephant) extraction of logs and "worst first" single tree selection of individual trees in timber harvesting. Ours is a "whole forest" eco-system management approach, toward the end of restorative forestry, community stability and achievement of our mission statement.

Mission: To address human needs for forest products while creating a nurturing coexistence between the forest and the human community.


Goals: 1. Support practitioners of forest improvement, sustainable forestry with financial and technical assistance.


2. Provide educational services to generate public awareness of community/forest interdependence and develop mutually beneficial relationships between forests and people.


3. Perpetuate truly sustainable cultural traditions that produce social capital through development of livelihoods that reward ground-level forest stewardship skills, protection of the environment, and preservation of family integrity.


4. Explore methods and technology relating to low-impact harvesting of forest products.
