Make your city a Reforestation Hub
Cambium Carbon works to eliminate urban wood waste by developing partnerships and markets that enable wood reuse. We create data-driven solutions to help cities salvage fallen trees, reduce disposal costs, and advance zero waste goals. Cambium Carbon has worked with cities across the country to understand, quantify, and implement cost-saving waste utilization climate initiatives.
What We Do:
We collect and analyze local data to develop reports, visualizations, and tools that cities can use to shape a place-based strategy for wood waste management.
We establish sales channels to put urban wood to its highest and best use, and partner with workforce development organizations to foster new green jobs across the tree life cycle.
We work with local partners to regenerate urban forests in low-canopy neighborhoods. These high-impact tree plantings build healthier communities, from air quality and urban cooling benefits to improved physical and mental health.
