Forest Carbon Markets
Empowering access for economically marginal landowners
Completed
Challenge
Minnesota forests are underperforming in their potential to mitigate climate change, in large part because non-industrial forest landowners, who manage almost half of the state’s timberland, are currently not rewarded for carbon sequestration. Simultaneously, forestry-dependent communities are struggling economically.
