The Advantages

The most compelling reason to purchase offsets from Woodlands Carbon is that our landowners demonstrate that what they do is quantifiably good for the environment. Woodlands Carbon landowners manage their forests in ways that create a greater capacity for carbon storage. Compared to commonly practiced forest management in the Northwest, our landowners store more carbon dioxide, on average.

Our family landowner carbon stocks were compared with carbon stocks published by the US Forest Service of all Western Oregon ownerships (industrial forestlands, non-industrial private, and public lands). By comparison, our landowners store more carbon dioxide.

Forest carbon offsets purchased through Woodlands Carbon benefit the Northwest. The carbon dioxide stored in these acres of trees is removed from our air, resulting in a healthier Oregon. They contribute to healthy streams and fisheries, offer recreational opportunities and provide valuable wildlife habitat. Very few offsets purchased on the market have such a direct benefit to its buyers.
