Trees take in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air and store it as carbon (C).

 

The carbon stored by trees now has a market value, as companies, organizations and individuals work to reduce their carbon footprint.

 

Companies, organizations and individuals who are working to lower their carbon footprint can choose to buy Appalachian managed forest carbon offsets.

 

Appalachian forest landowners can learn more about earning income from managed forest carbon offsets by visiting the Appalachian Carbon Partnership website.

 

In 2008, voluntary carbon markets were estimated to be worth $705 million. This was more than twice their value in 2007.
