Iron and Earth sees jobs in renewable energy solutions for out of work oil workers as Lliam Hildebrand explains: “We're going to need these oil-sector jobs for a very long time,” says Hildebrand. “But new construction opportunities are largely going be in renewable energy. Renewable energy investments were more than double that of fossil fuels in 2015, and that trend is going to continue.”

"We live along the river and we use the water mutually with the forest. We have come here for the purpose of planting seedlings so that it will rehabilitate the forest. We even want to start another tree nursery near the river so that in future we leave a legacy for our children, that they learn their medicinal plants from their parents. We need financial support to start many indigenous tree nurseries."
"We would benefit from an exchange visit to see what is happening in other areas, so that we also come and plan with that knowledge in our activities."

BLM forest lands in Oregon and Washington are administered under the Oregon and California Railroad Lands Act (O&C) of 1937 and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976. The O&C lands are in western Oregon and are managed for sustained yield of timber; economic stability of local communities; conservation and recovery of threatened and endangered species; restoration of forest health, resilience and diversity; and providing clean water in watersheds. The FLPMA identifies land to be held in what is known as public domain. These lands are generally found in eastern Oregon and Washington. Public domain lands are managed under the principles of multiple use and sustained yield without impairment of land productivity or environmental equality.
