Good morning,
To every problem there is a solution if we are willing to
look for it. Even the monumental environmental problems
facing us. Instead of deforestation plantations of a fast-
growing tree native to China will be planted in the high
desert north of Reno, generating $1.5 billion in revenue
and creating 280 local jobs!
Please scroll down for more from a fascinating article on
RGJ.com detailing this ambitious project.
Thanks for reading,

Working with landowners, Jaksick Entities, Sacramento-based
ECO2 Forests Inc., is pursuing its plans on 14,000 acres
near Winnemucca Ranch.
Initial planting should begin within six weeks, with up to
3 million of the hardwood trees ultimately grown, said Collie
Christensen, the company's CEO.
The Washoe County project is the first of many to establish
up to 100,000 acres of kiri plantations across the country
and up to 1 million acres globally, company officials said.
Other plantations are being planted or are planned in the
South Pacific, Brazil and Mexico.
Harvested lightweight lumber will be used primarily for such
things as furniture and boat making, but value also is
associated with the broad-leafed tree's ability to strip
carbon dioxide from the air that will result in the ability
to make money in the carbon-credit market, Christsensen said.
He said the tree can hold more carbon than any other.
The project has an added benefit of slowing deforestation,
said Christensen, adding that Washoe County is the ideal
location to launch the company's nationwide effort because
of Northern Nevada's plentiful sunshine and the availability
of water rights in the area.
The kiri can grow taller than a person within three months
and can reach 20 to 45 feet within a year and up to 85 feet
at seven years. After cutting, another tree springs directly
from the stump.
