Cornell University will hold a New York State Climate Change Legislation on Forests and Carbon Sequestration webinar on December 16th from 11 am to noon.
New York forests are a critical component to reaching NYs climate goals through their sequestration and storage of carbon.
To achieve these goals the CLCPA Agriculture and Forestry panel recommended five main strategies:
1) keep forests as forests, avoiding conversion
2) improved forest management
3) afforestation/reforestation to create new forests
4) urban forestry
5) bioeconomy.
While many of the mechanisms for these systematic changes are still under discussion, there are currently opportunities available for landowners to help combat climate change on their properties.
