This workshop is exclusively for members of NW Certified Forestry. If you would like to join NCF, please click here for more information on membership.
Workshop description
Forests in the Pacific Northwest can play an important role in
sequestering and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Through careful
management and monitoring, forest owners and managers can position
themselves to participate in emerging carbon offset markets and develop
an additional income stream by selling the “ecosystem services” their
forests provide.
The Northwest Natural Resource Group’s new
carbon offset program, NW Neutral®, assists small woodland owners with
inventorying and monitoring carbon pools in their forests and
connecting them with high value markets. This full-day training
seminar, exclusively for members of Northwest Certified Forestry*, will
introduce landowners to the carbon marketplace, how NW Neutral®
accounts for forest-based carbon offsets, and the higher values offered
by selling carbon offsets through NW Neutral®.
Topics will include:
- Carbon markets 101
- Understanding baseline, additionality, permanence and other carbon offset criteria
- Carbon inventory data collection requirements
- Carbon contracts and other legal issues
- Carbon value case studies under NW Neutral®
- And more…
