The American Forest Foundation and the Nature Conservancy will hold a Family Forest Carbon Program Info Session: Climate-Smart Forestry Guidance and Incentives for Small Family Forests, on Thursday, September 21st, from 10 to 11 am via Zoom.
In July, AFF and TNC expanded the Family Forest Carbon Program into western and central Massachusetts (as well as Vermont and 4 counties in eastern New York).
This program provides landowners who are interested in managing their forests for carbon with technical assistance and annual payments if they commit to either delaying harvest, or doing climate-smart harvests, for 20 years.
In this online program, Patti Ruby, Northeast Director for the Family Forest Carbon Program (AFF), and Laura Marx, Climate Solutions Scientist (TNC) will walk through the program and explain continuing roles for consulting foresters and land trusts.
There will be plenty of time for questions, both about how to work with the program, and how the program is different from existing carbon market programs.
