Apple has announced a new investment in the “restoration and sustainable management of a working redwood forest in California,” in partnership with The Conversation Fund.
“The forest project is part of the company’s expanded Restore Fund initiative, which is now invested in two dozen conservation and regenerative agriculture projects that span six continents,” Apple explains.
Specifically, Apple is investing in the restoration and sustainable management of the Gualala River Forest in Mendocino County, California. The company explains:
The Gualala River Forest is part of a large stretch of coastal redwood forestland that serves as home to hundreds of wildlife species and as the economic lifeblood for many communities across California’s northern coast. Through the partnership, The Conservation Fund will continue sustainably managing the forest, and Apple will receive the carbon credits generated by the forest’s growth over time.
The investment is being made as part of Apple’s Restore Fund, which is designed to scale global investment in nature-based carbon removal. It plays a key role in Apple’s goal to be carbon neutral across its entire footprint by the end of the decade.
Here’s Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives:
“We’re thrilled to help protect California’s iconic coastal redwoods as part of our growing Restore Fund initiative. Forests are one of the most powerful technologies we have for removing carbon from the atmosphere. Our global investments in nature are leveraging that technology while supporting communities, stimulating local economies, and enhancing biodiversity in ecosystems around the world.”
