I met founder, Celia Francis online through a dear friend Caty Batten. It was the time of Covid, where online meetings and networking had become the norm. We began bi-weekly conversations over several months, and it twas from these conversations and many others, that the Art of Forests emerged. This network provides forest makers and their mycelium network and opportunity to build friendships, share challenges and opportunities, new technologies, that we believe will ultimately accelerate ecosystem restoration. We are friends, colleagues, and industry leaders committed to natural climate solutions. If you're interested to learn more please feel free tto reach out!
