Webinar: Family Forest Carbon Program: Bringing Together American Family Forest Owners, Companies and Policymakers to Improve Forest Health and Address Climate Change

Details: The Family Forest Carbon Program pays small forest holders upfront to implement climate-smart forestry practices that go above and beyond what is otherwise common practice. The program also provides landowners with professional expertise and guidance to help them transition to sustainable management long term.

• A long-term resource for landowners to improve the health and value of their woodlands, including expert assistance from forest professionals
• Income from the land that can cover the costs of climate-friendly forest management activities
• A voluntary, incentivized-based option to play a role in the fight against climate change that complements other government tools and programs
• An opportunity to provide economic support for local communities
• Currently enrolling eligible landowners in MD, MA, NY, PA, VT, and WV.
