Developing forest carbon
projects can be a complex undertaking in which forest managers must
navigate regulations and relationships with government and
non-government stakeholders. In return, these projects can become
lucrative economic development opportunities for tribes while at the
same time offering many co-benefits related to ecosystem health, forest
management, and climate resiliency.
This webinar will provide an overview of forest carbon projects;
including what they are, what benefits they provide, what they mean for
forest management, and how a tribe can develop a project. Three speakers
will share their perspectives on this topic, and there will be time at
the end for audience questions.
Presenters:
Joshua Strauss – Vice President, Bluesource
Ernie Neptune – Forest Supervisor, Passamaquoddy Forestry Dept
Matt Anderson – Forester, U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, Midwest Regional Office
