Biomass Fact Sheet
RMRI brings together public and private landowners to restore, maintain, and enhance the health and resilience of our forest landscapes. To do this, we are mobilizing efforts to address a problem we all share: How to remove and put to use the “woody biomass” on our forest landscapes.
