Ecoforestry means getting out of Nature's way and letting Nature manage Itself. Jean Shaffer: has a Batchelors degree in Wildlife Conservation, a background of 20 years of alternative forestry research, and ground-truthed application with husband Jerel. She has integrated a full circle approach to provide environmental, social and economic solutions forest owners-to-activists, seek, for ecological and economical sustainable logging. Her approach un-hampers the ecosystem to return to old growth forest, using natural selection succession, and does no harm.

Jean does custom how-to ecoforestry consultations. They are rounded out by experience beginning a value added furniture business with Jerel, for increasing the value of smaller, but more frequent harvests. As well as using non-timber products. And by her current exploration into trading ecosystem service or carbon sequestration credits, for dollars; that large-treed forests provide.
