LAND TRUSTS IN NORTHEASTERN U.S. CAN ENROLL IN THE CARBON MARKET AND BECOME FUTURE ANCIENT FORESTS
Montreal, March 20th, 2023 – Northeast Wilderness Trust (NEWT), SIG Carbon, and the Inlandsis Fund have teamed up to create an exciting new forest carbon aggregation initiative called Wildlands Carbon. Land trusts across the northeastern United States are joining forces to protect wildlands and enroll in the voluntary carbon market. Northeast Wilderness Trust, the only regional land trust that focuses exclusively on rewilding through forever-wild conservation in the Northeast, is sponsoring this initiative. Forever-Wild protection is a prerequisite for enrollment; thus, every property that participates in the initiative today will become an ancient forest of the future.
