Our Partnerships
-
McDonald Dunn Research Forest
Mauka Energy has partnered with Oregon State University’s Research Forests to develop the FEVER tool. The McDonald and Dunn Research Forests are located a short 15 minute drive north of the OSU campus. Because of their close proximity to campus, these Forests are extensively used for university instruction and research. Managers apply several silvicultural themes - even-aged, two-aged, and multi-aged (plus mature forest reserves) across the entire McDonald and Dunn Forests, depending on specific objectives for each area. The Forest's recreation opportunities in close proximity to the Corvallis community result in over 155,000 non-motorized recreation visits each year.

OSU Advantage Accelerator
Oregon State University’s Advantage Accelerator program and commercialization experts were crucial in securing the patent underpinning the BEVER and FEVER technologies. The BEVER and FEVER tools and methodology arose out of research by David Hamilton at Oregon State University.
In July 2023, OSU prepared and filed a United States non-provisional patent application to secure the core technology for the FEVER tool.
In April 2024, OSU prepared and filed a United States non-provisional patent application to secure the core technology for the BEVER tool.
