taos aer's Inspiration is
Our NM community
When you purchase Taos AER, you support Wood For Life New Mexico, a program of the National Forest Foundation. This unique program directly supports forest restoration, wildfire mitigation, and assists Tribal communities. Locally, the initiative allows unused timber to be repurposed as fuelwood in off-the-grid NM Tribal communities for heating, cooking, and cultural use.
Wildfire devastation and its residual effects are major issues across our community. By partnering with the National Forest Foundation, we are working to help secure a sustainable future for our unique environs.
In partnership with the
national forest foundation
We're launching our New Wild Wood Deodorant in conjunction with the kick-off of the NFF's Wood For Life New Mexico initiative. This unique program directly supports our community through local initiatives with future oriented goals:
decrease
wildfire risk
Remove weak, diseased trees and thin hazardous overgrown forests that contribute to megafire danger.
Firewood for
tribal communities
Deliver timber that isn’t commercially usable from restoration projects to be used as fuelwood in tribal communities for heating, cooking, and cultural use.
Forest health
& restoration
Restored forests are healthy, resilient, and more likely to burn naturally, rather than as wildfires that devastate communities and ecosystems.
“We have been thrilled to see the Wood for Life initiative build momentum and grow from Northern Arizona into Southwest Colorado and now, New Mexico. The work to get firewood from restoration projects to woodstoves relies on many partners, all bringing strengths and resources together.”
Sasha Stortz, Program Manager, NFF
