Description

Come learn how landowners can enhance the carbon stored on their land. Join us on an exploratory walk around Billings/Marsh Farm in Woodstock to see how our forests through carbon sequestration and storage play a vital role in mitigating the impacts of climate change. This walk will build off the presentation that Sarah Ford at Forest Carbon Works will give on the previous Monday night, July 19 at 5:30 pm on providing carbon market access for smaller landowners. In addition to being a practicing forester in Vermont and a forester for Forest Carbon Works, Sarah studied under Dr. Bill Keeton at UVM where they did much of their work at Billing Farms. Come learn how landowners can enhance the carbon stored on their land, how they can avoid the depletion of carbon and how they can participate in carbon markets.
