This project increases the volume of carbon stored in durable wood products while accelerating the ability of managed timberland in the US to act as a carbon sink. It's also an opportunity to integrate timberland owners into the carbon markets and incentivizes them to extend their harvest rotations.

We’re planting a combination of Photosynthesis-Enhanced Hybrid Poplar and other species on family-owned active timberland near Reidsville, Georgia. This project is an active research site and facilitates ongoing research to improve the carbon capture and storage durability of nature-based solutions.

We will be planting and studying our seedlings as a method of truly additional forest carbon. The goal is to not only sequester carbon in a long-term living system but also direct the land toward reestablishing the original natural forest species composition and removing excess metals from the soil.
