Who We Are
By ensuring that carbon markets are accessible, we champion a critical piece of a climate resilient future: nature-based carbon offset projects.
The land we depend on holds cultural, familial, civic, and historical significance. From Tribal forests to family ranches, we’ve worked alongside landowners and managers for over 25 years to help them reach their long-term land management goals and generate ongoing revenue while honoring their connection to their land.
What makes us different is that our carbon offset projects are nature-based, meaning that we restore, improve, and conserve lands to store more carbon in the trees and soil. Rather than introducing new technologies, we create lower-cost strategies that reduce carbon emissions and have co-benefits for both ecosystems and people.
As an experienced carbon offset project developer and funder, we work on behalf of landowners to support their land stewardship. And as a nonprofit organization, we are trusted advisors to policymakers and carbon registries. Together, we preserve the promise of our future through good land stewardship.
Our Mission & Vision
As a nonprofit organization, our investments are driven by climate impact and put landowners first. We work alongside our partners to develop and fund projects that support grassland conservation, reforestation, and improved forest management strategies.
