When wildfires burn through unnaturally dense forests, they leave behind fields of unusable dead trees. This becomes a hazard, releasing carbon, blocking restoration, and fueling more fires.
By burying wildfire-ravaged trees on-site, we create a carbon sink that funds restoration of Western forests.
Biomass Burial
We turn unusable wood from wildfire-ravaged forests into a durable carbon sink through strategic biomass burial, accelerating your path to net-zero.

Reforestation
We reforest the same landscape, leaving critical habitat for wildlife. Restoring biodiversity and creating resilient forests for future generations.
Discuss your carbon removal needs with Mast
Every Partnership Plants a Seed
When you choose Mast, you're not just buying carbon credits — you're funding the reforestation of Western US lands and restoring native ecosystems.
-
We’ve already restored thousands of acres of land across the Western United States and planted millions of seedlings that will sequester hundreds of thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere.
Join Mast and the local community in restoring 2,543 acres at Sheep Creek Ranch.
-
Our restoration projects are meticulously monitored and verified using a range of measurements and analyses, including:
- Ongoing monitoring of subterranean burial environment using low-cost sensors for CO2, O2, CH4, temperature, humidity, pressure, and pH.
- Above-ground monitoring for CO2 and CH4 emissions with soil flux chamber.
- Ongoing monitoring of soil settlement, surface vegetation, soil carbon recovery, and vault integrity via periodic site visits and surficial survey.
-
We believe in transparency and collaboration. You'll receive access to project data, regular updates on our progress, and even media assets that you can use to share your own impact story.
-
Absolutely! We understand that everyone has different goals. We'll work closely with you to create a carbon offset plan that aligns with your specific needs and objectives.

We deliver these high-quality CDR credits in conjunction with reforestation of lands ravaged by wildfire.
These fire-impacted project areas contain substantial volumes of charred wood that were not fully consumed by the fire – the majority of which must be removed as it represents a future fire risk. The fire-damaged wood is not merchantable, so the baseline no-intervention method of disposal is pile-burning, which creates an immediate and near-term release of carbon emissions. The opportunity to instead utilize this charred biomass to create high-quality CDR credits through biomass burial is compelling and additional.
