Portfolio Partner Profile

Forest Resilience Bond

The FRB Yuba Project I LLC, or the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), is a financing mechanism developed by Blue Forest Conservation in partnership with the World Resources Institute. The FRB raises private capital to fund the upfront costs of forest restoration. Multiple beneficiaries of restoration, including the US Forest Service, State of California, and Yuba Water Agency, will share in the cost of reimbursing investors over time. Investment through the FRB will kick off a forest restoration project protecting 15,000 acres of forestland in the North Yuba River watershed using ecologically based tree thinning, meadow restoration, prescribed burning, and invasive species management—all specifically designed to reduce the risk of severe fire, improve watershed health, and protect water resources.
