What is the Family Forest Carbon Program?
Developed by the American Forest Foundation and The Nature Conservancy the Family Forest Carbon Program enables family forest owners in Vermont and the Northeast to access climate finance from carbon markets with the goal of increasing the adoption of climate smart forestry practices to grow more resilient forests, conserve biodiversity, add value to timber stands, and mitigate climate impacts.
This program provides landowners who are interested in managing their forests -- when carbon is one of their top values -- technical assistance and annual payments if they commit to either delaying harvest, or doing climate-smart forest harvests, for 20 years.
