<p>Import from live site</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>OnTrackNorthAmerica led the development of the &#039;&#039;&#039;New Mexico Sustainable Forestry Business Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; with input from diverse stakeholders in the aftermath of the 2022 Calf Canyon-Hermits Peak 350,000-acre forest fire. Together, we created a comprehensive strategy for Colfax, Mora, San Miguel, and Taos Counties to scale up sustainable harvesting, transportation, and processing, thereby supporting the well-being of forests, local logging and wood products businesses, and the communities they serve.<br /> <br /> This comprehensive approach was conceived to transform forests — whether currently healthy, overly dense, or recently burned — into economic opportunities, thereby enhancing both the forest’s and the community’s vitality. Our work brought together more than 300 landowners, government staff, industry representatives, and community stakeholders to co-develop a business-savvy approach to local economic development and sustainable forestry in the forested counties of northern New Mexico.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Our Five-Step Approach:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Knowledge Foundation&#039;&#039;&#039;: Compile existing research into accessible tools for stakeholders to make informed decisions.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Community-Driven Planning&#039;&#039;&#039;: Facilitate collaboration among public-sector leaders, landowners, and industry professionals to develop optimal forest treatment approaches.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Resource Assessment&#039;&#039;&#039;: Conduct a complete analysis of the forest wood supply to accurately determine available materials and guide investment decisions.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Industry Growth Strategy&#039;&#039;&#039;: Evaluate and enhance the capacity of local forest products companies to process biomass and identify the specific opportunities to integrate services from outside the region.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Implementation Blueprint&#039;&#039;&#039;: Create a practical business plan with detailed components for operations, logistics, funding, and governance.<br /> <br /> Initially focused on four northern New Mexico counties, this model establishes a framework for scaling up statewide and ultimately continental.
