MARCD/Enbridge Climate Forward Reforestation
Pilot Project
Application Due Date now closed.
A commitment from Enbridge to purchase credits from a Climate Forward Pilot Project has allowed us to begin working on finding a landowner with a suitable site who is ready, willing, and able to plant trees with the intent to
Sequester Carbon for a long time.

Natural Climate Solutions
Trees have the ability to capture atmospheric CO2 and sequester that carbon for extended periods of time.
The recognition of and demand for using this natural ability to reduce atmospheric green house gas levels is rising.
This increasing demand is driven by; the regulatory and voluntary carbon markets.
Reforestation,
Improved Forest Management,
and Avoided Conversion
are the strongest tools in the Natural Climate Solution program toolbox.
We're actively working on Natural Climate Solution Projects,
