Carbon Project Planning and Strategies

A prime example of a new forest management goal is carbon sequestration. Forests are becoming increasingly valued for providing this essential environmental service as global climate change issues and policy are clarified. Market incentives will surely exist for forest owners to participate in emerging carbon trading opportunities. Emission thresholds will soon require industry either to reduce their carbon emissions or buy carbon credits. The atmospheric carbon sequestered by forest trees and soils can offer a low cost alternative to off-set industrial carbon emissions. We can keep you abreast of domestic policies and international agreements as they become directly relevant to forestland owners. Those landowners who become involved early but carefully will benefit most from carbon sequestration enterprises.
