The Care Forest Project
Micro-Conservation + Human Connection

Take Action

"This project is a response to both our changing climate and the critical need we have to find meaningful ways to heal our relationship with the soil, ourselves, and each other."

- Dr. Juko Holiday, Founder of The Care Forest Project

Offset Your Impact + Nurture Your Soul

 We are a different kind of tree farm, investing in the value of the Redwoods on our timber lot to sequester carbon and betting that people like you care enough to offset the burden your everyday activities place on the environment.

Conserving Trees & Promoting Human Connection

---

Cecelia Shooner, 1949-2005

The moment I had the opportunity to be the human steward of this forest, I knew it was a gift to be shared with others. 
Inspired by the care farming concept  in the UK, along with several examples here in the United States - most notably the Selah Care Farm in Sedona, Arizona - I set the intention to create a space for people living with trauma, grief, and loss to find respite, emotional support, and spiritual direction. 
The positive impact of trees and intentional connection with nature on mood and emotional well-being is being recognized, so it's an exciting time to pioneer the first therapeutic forest in the United States. 

​I have a particular interest in supporting people who have lost a loved one to suicide, work I dedicate to my birth mother, Cecelia Shooner, who died of suicide in 2005.
