What happens in the event of a forest fire?

By selecting healthy forests and following forest management best practices, our arborists work to reduce the risk of fire damage and disease. If any Better Place Forests forest is affected by a fire or other natural disaster, we will offer a tree transfer and work with local experts to restore the forest to health.

For customers who have had a forest memorial at their tree, our team will work with you to make sure we represent the best possible outcome for the location of your spreading area.

If you get stuck or have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can call or text us at 628-237-3922 or email us at care@betterplaceforests.org.
