Katelynn Martinez’s career has been propelled by a simple — but ambitious — goal: to help humans coexist with the environment in a mutually beneficial balance. She helped launch Colorado's first reforestation company, OneCanopy, a privately funded conservation nursery that grows native trees and shrubs for reforestation in the Rocky Mountain region. Within five years, the Loveland-based social enterprise aims to grow three million seedling trees per year, aiding in the reforestation of 10,000 acres annually in the Rocky Mountain region.
