At SilvaBio, we create and sell superior seedlings.
For the first time, we are bringing a tree back from functional extinction, the iconic American chestnut. And we are using our state-of-the-art biotechnology platform to restore other valuable at-risk trees.
America’s hardwood forests contribute $350B to the economy, support biodiversity, and offset nearly 15% of U.S. carbon emissions - but they are under threat.
Invasive pathogens wiped out the American chestnut and now threaten ash, oak, elm, beech, and more. Traditional solutions have failed. SilvaBio is different. We are producing the only blight-resistant American chestnut, and we are using this experience to target several other hardwood species.
SilvaBio is a Public Benefit Company committed to restoring America’s forests and strengthening the ecosystems and economies they support.
We operate USDA-permitted orchards, apply advanced genomics and machine learning to predict and select for disease-tolerant traits, and work with landowners and conservation organizations to advance reforestation efforts. Our goal is not just to preserve native tree species, but to replant them - stronger and more adaptable for the future.
Join us in restoring America's forests, one breakthrough at a time. We welcome opportunities to collaborate with mission-aligned landowners and supporters to advance reforestation.
