MARCD/Enbridge Climate Forward Reforestation
Pilot Project
Application Period Now Closed, This Project is Now in Progress, An Update Will be Posted in 2026
A commitment from Enbridge to purchase credits from a Climate Forward Pilot Project has allowed us to begin working on finding landowners with a suitable site who are ready, willing, and able to plant trees with the intent to
Sequester Carbon for a long time.
Landowners in the Eligible Area (shown below)

A Payment Program for Planting and Growing Trees
Is this program right for you? It is if you can answer yes to these Questions
1. Are you willing to plant at least 30 acres?
2. Are you willing to apply for state or federal cost share programs?
3. Are you willing to participate in the work to ensure tree survival and growth over a period of years?
4. Are you willing to wait at least a year after tree planting or more if replanting is needed to receive Climate Forward program payments?
5. Are you able and willing to follow the Pilot Project Requirements below?
Pilot Project Requirements:
1. The project area must not have been in forest cover for the last ten years.
2. The project area must not be under a program or rule already requiring reforestation.
3. Planting a mix of native tree species is required.
4. The landowner of the project site must have clear title to the property and timber rights.

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,
