Since 2004, Pacific Bamboo Resources (PBR) has served communities, governments and industries — regionally and internationally — to research and pursue practical applications for bamboo resources. A non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, our mission and activities align with efforts to address issues of global climate change, sustainable economic development, and community resilience. Why bamboo? ~ bamboo is an excellent multi-functional, carbon sequestering stock; ~ bamboo can be responsibly managed and a valuable "non-nuisance" habitat element; ~ bamboo inspires innovation via application of its adaptable, durable qualities; ~ bamboo is an international friend crossing continents, cultures and communities; ~ bamboo offers new means of addressing critical social, economic and ecological concerns. PBR is a proud member of the Clean Tech Alliance of Washington.
