Our Mission:

The Silva Forest Foundation initiates and supports ecosystem stewardship by working with communities to protect, maintain and restore forests. This work expresses our guiding principle: The forest sustains us, we do not sustain the forest. We recognize that diverse ecosystems are required to maintain healthy communities, which in turn, are required to support strong local economies.

Our work is practical: We pursue 'on the ground results' by providing mapping tools, education and training. Our work is also collaborative: we work with rural communities, First Nations and environmental organizations, and we help build bridges between divergent interests.
