You Keep Working Your Land
Continue carbon-friendly timber management while improving long-term forest productivity.
CREATING LONG-TERM VALUE FOR WORKING FORESTS THROUGH IMPROVED FOREST MANAGEMENT (IFM)
IFM projects build on your existing forestry practices and make targeted adjustments to increase carbon storage over time. That might include:
- Extending harvest rotations
- Adjusting thinning schedules and increasing productivity
- Applying silvicultural practices to enhance growth and yield
- Reduced-impact logging
- Timber Stand Improvement practices
- Shifting stumpage to yield longer-term wood products
The result is simple. Your forest grows faster, stores more carbon, and becomes more valuable over time. You continue to manage your land. You just do it in a way that generates an additional income stream through carbon credits.
IFM projects have long dominated the forest carbon industry. Methodologies have improved significantly over the last few years to meet the rising demand for higher-quality carbon credits. Today's buyers demand baselines that are realistic and mechanisms like dynamic baseline requirements ensure conservative crediting of emission reductions throughout the life of a project.
