Who We Are

Waffle Forest is a 501(c)3 non-profit and natural resource conservation organization founded in 2021. To restore lands, combat water scarcity, improve soil health, sustainable ecosystem and food security, while reducing carbon emission, and air/water pollution, Waffle Forest focuses on tree planting, high-tech eco-forest and other greening initiatives in Arizona and beyond. Our mission and value is driven by implementing and integrating novel nature-based solutions and innovative emerging technologies including nanotechnology and TreeTalker remote sensing, among others, to reverse desertification and plant self-sustaining eco-forest, mitigating climate change with positive impacts on agriculture, water and energy sectors.
