We'll hear a presentation from Dr. Marissa Spence, Forestry Manager, Climate Action Reserve. Marissa will review two new carbon programs that incentivize active forest management, including: the Reducing Emissions from Megafires (REM) methodology, which incentivizes fuel treatments that reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire and the Biochar Protocol, which rewards the use of waste biomass to produce a carbon stable product.
We will take time to discuss Megafire Suppression and Biochar production in Northern MN and the role Carbon Markets could have. Those attending can also opt to sit in on the MARCD Annual Winter Business Meeting.
Please see the attached Agenda for details and RSVP to [email protected] if you plan on attending or have any questions.
