Concerned about the future of your woodlot?
Our easement process ensures your woodlot is protected from unsustainable logging and development in perpetuity.
Placing an easement on your property lets you access carbon markets, where revenue from carbon credits covers easement costs, monitoring, legal fees, and long-term protection—helping you preserve your woodlands with little or no out-of-pocket expense.
Carbon Credits
