Restoration and reforestation at scale requires expertise, coordination, and a deep understanding of ecological and logistical challenges. OneCanopy stands out as a trusted nursery partner in landscape-scale projects, offering solutions that address both ecological and logistical needs. By fostering partnerships, leveraging diverse resources, and customizing approaches, OneCanopy enables transformative projects that restore ecosystems, support wildlife, and mitigate climate impacts.
The OneCanopy Approach: Tailored Solutions for Complex Projects
Large-scale restoration projects often involve intricate governance structures, diverse stakeholder input, and multifaceted logistical demands. Whether it’s restoring habitats impacted by wildfires, reversing the spread of invasive species, or supporting carbon offset initiatives, OneCanopy thrives in managing the complexity.
Our approach centers on collaboration, adaptability, and science-driven strategies. We offer partners flexibility through two main pathways:
- Speculative Pallet Selection: Partners can choose from a wide array of pre-grown plant materials that are ready for deployment. All OneCanopy plant material is grown from Rocky Mountain sourced seed, ensuring appropriate suitability for the region. We understand the importance of provenance of seed and strive to acquire and grow out seed from a variety of geographies within our region. This option provides speed and efficiency for projects with tight timelines.
- Custom Grow Contracts: For projects with unique ecological or logistical needs, we collaborate directly with partners to develop tailored solutions. This includes selecting the appropriate seed stock provenance, determining the optimal product size, and aligning on budget-friendly pricing and delivery strategies.
Whether a partner chooses from our speculative pallet or opts for a custom grow contract, every project is executed with precision and a commitment to ecological integrity.
Supporting Large-Scale Projects with Strategic Expertise
OneCanopy’s role in the success of landscape-scale projects extends beyond providing plant materials. We partner with organizations to address critical aspects such as:
- Seed Stock Selection: Ensuring the use of genetically appropriate and climate-resilient plant species.
- Logistics Planning: Streamlining delivery and packaging to minimize waste and maximize efficiency
- Payment Flexibility to Support Funding Requirements: Working with clients on payment timing to ensure they can meet compliance requirements of funding sources.
This comprehensive approach makes OneCanopy an invaluable ally for projects that demand technical expertise and seamless execution.
Highlighting Impact: Case Studies of Success
OneCanopy’s ability to manage large-scale partnerships is exemplified in its work on groundbreaking projects that restore ecosystems, support wildlife, and combat climate change. Here are two compelling examples:
Restoring Mule Deer Habitats in Idaho
The Mule Deer Foundation partnered with OneCanopy to restore sagebrush habitats in Idaho. This project addressed a critical ecological challenge: highly flammable invasive grasses had overrun the area, leading to fast-moving wildfires that destroyed the sagebrush—a vital food source for mule deer.
OneCanopy supplied the necessary sage plants, ensuring they were of the right size and genetic profile for the region. The partnership’s efforts have helped reestablish a key habitat, mitigating the impact of invasive species and supporting the recovery of mule deer populations.
Post-Burn Carbon Projects
In the aftermath of catastrophic wildfires, reforestation becomes essential for restoring carbon-sequestering ecosystems. OneCanopy has supported numerous post-burn projects designed to meet carbon market requirements. These projects are crucial not only for ecological recovery but also for offsetting greenhouse gas emissions.
By providing ecological appropriate tree species and ensuring efficient delivery and planting logistics, OneCanopy enables these projects to meet their ambitious goals. From selecting seed stock adapted to fire-prone regions to advising on planting densities, we help partners maximize the ecological and financial returns on their investments.
