How does it work?

Step 1: Enroll

Enrolling is free and no-commitment.

The enrollment window will open late 2020, and you'll need to be enrolled to participate in the following stages.

For now, keep up to date by signing up for our newsletter.

Step 2: Auction

You choose how much you're willing to pay for forest carbon credits. America's landowners do the same. This determines the market price of carbon, and ensures you get the lowest-cost carbon on the landscape.

The first auction is in early 2021.

Step 3: Harvest Deferral

Forest landowners harvest less volume than they otherwise would have, increasing the amount of carbon stored in the forest landscape.

Step 4: Payments

You pay for and take possession of the carbon credits, which can then be retired to meet your carbon goals.
