The Carbon Sequestration Program-An Update on the Carbon Offset Program
The Carbon Sequestration Program-An Update on the Carbon Offset Program
Last quarter we featured Rob Richardson from the Upper Columbia RC&D who wrote on the potential for landowners to grow trees in an effort to reduce the effects of CO2 emissions. Presently, 5000 acres from our area have been submitted. Landowners, intending to establish new plantations in agricultural and grass fields are being quoted rates from $400 to $600 per acre from the sale of carbon credits. These funds provide an excellent incentive for reforestation, which improves air quality, provides wildlife habitat, reduces erosion and is environmentally friendly. Northwest Management, Inc. continues to evaluate and monitor the program in an effort to provide the information necessary to you for planting trees under this new Program. Give us a call if you are considering this option.
