The Longleaf Alliance will hold an Unlocking Carbon Funding for Forest Restoration webinar to explore how carbon funding can support landowners and land managers to establish new longleaf forests and meet land management and conservation goals on August 20th from 3 to 4:15 pm EDT
This webinar will focus on reforestation and afforestation efforts, which offer one of the largest opportunities to sequester carbon while also building climate resilience for communities and ecosystems.
Speakers Victoria Lockhart from The Climate Trust; David Schoch from Terra Carbon; and Arjun Durr from American Forest Foundation will explain
- How can carbon financing facilitate the reforestation of longleaf forests impacted by severe natural disturbances like hurricanes and wildfire?
- What are the challenges and opportunities of carbon financing specific to longleaf pine forests managed for a variety of benefits and land management objectives?
- What makes longleaf pine forests unique when considering carbon projects?
At the end of the webinar, Lucas Clay, Climate-Smart Forestry Extension Associate with Clemson University will share information about the Climate-Smart Grown in SC program and all the speakers will answer questions from the audience.
