How the Family Forest Carbon Program Works
The Family Forest Carbon Program helps landowners with 30+ forested acres reach their goals by providing extra income, improving wildlife habitat and timber value, and increasing carbon stored on their land.

Qualification and Enrollment Steps
Locate your property on our secure mapping tool to help you determine if your forest is eligible. After answering a few questions regarding your forest, you will receive a report that shows you which of our practices your property matched with. This report will provide your eligibility status, program payment amounts, and more details around program requirements.
If eligible, you will have the opportunity to schedule a phone call at your convenience (via a link sent to the email you provided), with one of our knowledgeable program team members who will be happy to answer any questions about your eligibility and our program. During this call, you will get to discuss your property goals and how the Family Forest Carbon Program may be able to assist you in reaching them.
Once you’ve had the opportunity to meet with our team, you will be presented with a formal offer! After which you can decide whether the Family Forest Carbon Program is a good fit for you and your goals.
If you decide that we are a great match for you, you will have the opportunity to finalize your agreement which provides you with guaranteed annual payments, during our 20-year commitment period. The best part is that you will have continued privacy and full ownership of your land. No restrictions on any recreational activities you are used to, such as hunting, hiking, maple collection, etc.
Receive annual payments, specialized guidance from a forester to implement your forest management plan and access to our landowner community.
In addition to ongoing access to our team, you will also be able to join “The Family Forest” virtual community, where you can share your thoughts, experiences, and questions with your fellow enrolled landowners. We strive to create a community based on shared values and ongoing learning opportunities.
Use our secure mapping tool to select your property and find out if you qualify.
