Abstract:
This article discusses The Nature Conservancy's Working Woodlands program, which offers attractive benefits to forestland owners in Pennsylvania and other eastern states, including forestland protection, forest management certification, and financial dividends from the sale of forest carbon offsets. The program is designed to keep woodlots functioning at their highest level for habitat and watershed protection and also for recreational uses, sustainably harvested timber, and a new source of income from selling forest carbon. The article discusses program benefits, costs, forest certification, carbon trading, and program eligibility.
