[CONVERSATION] Tal Engel // Integrative Forest Rehabilitation

In the Autumn of 2024, Adam visted Tal Engel of Wolftree Integrative Forest Rehabilitation, and took a tour of the woodlands which serve as a living laboratory for Tal's experiments in ecosystem revitalization and forest fire fuel management.

If you take care of any forested spaces, we're sure you'll be inspired by some of Tal's techniques.

In this Q+A follow-up to FE5.6, we're digging even deeper into the practice of Mitigation Banking, where ecosystem restoration (and nature itself) may be a profitable investment at scale.

While that episode was effectively a monologue for storytelling and stylistic reasons, this conversation gets into the weeds of offsetting, how credits are assessed and monitored, land trusts and permanent stewardship easements, intersections with real estate and Indigenous land back, permitting and project impacts, and Adam Davis's philosophy vis-à-vis capitalism.
