About – Ceres Forestry

Ceres Forestry

Ceres Forestry’s mission is to serve as a national provider of comprehensive forest management services for public and private clients across the United States. The company addresses a critical gap in the U.S. forestry sector, where no single provider currently offers integrated, nationwide capabilities for large‑scale forest management, hazardous fuels reduction, and disaster recovery at the pace, scale, and consistency required. Ceres Forestry delivers this work through a disciplined, integrated execution model built for large‑scale forestry projects. By prioritizing safety, sustainability, and operational excellence, the company delivers consistent, high‑quality results across complex, multi‑site forestry programs. Its integrated approach, aligning planning, layout, field operations, and responsible product utilization into a single delivery framework enables faster project starts and accelerates project pace and scale through proven private‑sector execution across diverse landscapes and regulatory environments.

Ceres Forestry operates with a single‑project bonding capacity of $2 billion and has access to more than 2,000 pieces of heavy and auxiliary equipment. This backing provides the financial strength, operational depth, and logistical scale required to mobilize rapidly, sustain large cash‑flow demands, and support long‑duration, high‑volume forestry programs nationwide, including emergency and surge environments. Ceres Forestry differentiates itself through an integrated national delivery platform designed for pace, reliability, and accountability at scale. The organization combines experienced personnel, contract‑ready systems across federal, state, and private pathways, and an adaptive operating model that maintains production continuity as field conditions evolve. Staffing, systems, and equipment are structured to support multi‑year programs across seasons and regions, while local hiring is prioritized whenever feasible to ensure forest health investments generate meaningful and lasting economic benefits for surrounding communities.

Project Highlight

Camp Fire 2018

In November 2018, California experienced its most destructive wildfire as the Camp Fire devastated the City of Paradise and much of Butte County, destroying nearly 14,000 structures and burning more than 150,000 acres, leaving widespread damage to private properties and public infrastructure. In response, Ceres Forestry removed more than 59,000 fire-damaged trees across over 2,500 private parcels and approximately 700 miles of public roadways.

To support the scale and complexity of the project, Ceres Forestry deployed advanced forestry resources that improved efficiency and generated significant cost savings, played a critical role in developing the Hazard Tree Steep Slope Plan to reduce risk in steep terrain, and led multidisciplinary planning to protect biological and archaeological resources in coordination with Cal Fire, FEMA, and professional archaeologists, including wetland protection protocols and work within the Butte County Canyon Ecological Reserve.
