Forests and Carbon: A Synthesis of Science, Management and Policy for Carbon Sequestration in Forests

Pacific Forest Trust is an early pioneer of techniques and standards used to create forest carbon projects—also known as emissions reductions or offset projects—which harness and protect the natural ability of forests to accumulate and hold carbon, acting as carbon “sinks” and providing essential climate benefits.

"Building Carbon in America's Farms, Forests, and Grasslands: Foundations for a Policy Roadmap" offers new analysis to support long-term planning to enhance U.S. land management of carbon sinks to ensure healthy and productive landscapes contribute to greenhouse gas reduction goals.

This report summarizes five climate science papers published in the Canadian Journal of Forest Research. It provides a picture of the potential effects of climate change and provides a concise scientific overview to inform natural resource management and policy decisions.

This guide offers information to help landowners understand and make the decision whether or not to enroll their land in carbon sequestration programs.

The Forest Service conducts periodic assessments of the condition of forest and rangeland resources. This 2000 report assesses impacts of climate change to U.S. forests to support resource management planning objectives.

As climate change impacts intensify around the world, nature-based carbon sequestration and storage are essential tools to addressing the climate crisis. The question remains where to focus conservation in order to maximize climate benefits. The Conservation Carbon Map can help answer that and more.

The webinar will provide a deep dive into carbon mapping for land protection and provide opportunities to engage with peers to discuss best practices for optimizing carbon through easement protections and management.

Marin Agricultural Land Trust is responding to global climate change by enhancing carbon sequestration in rangeland, agricultural and forest soils.

This document from the accredited Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests details the Forest Society's Conservation Easement Amendment Policy and the specific conditions of the amendment policy as well as the procedures for requesting and approving an amendment.
