Bringing Carbon Home.
Launching Southern Appalachia’s regional carbon offset platform
Bringing Carbon Home:
Agroforestry for the Southern Appalachians.
Beginning in May 2022, Carbon Harvest will identify land bases where agroforestry projects have great carbon sequestration potential and the proper human capacity to sustain them, and then seek to fund those projects through dedicated, regional investment.
From design to planting to harvest, these first agroforestry projects will be monitored to determine their needs and their impact.
Early partners will have access to the findings in the beta phase, and what we learn will be used to inform the carbon sequestration potential of Southern Appalachian lands, as well as future offerings through the Carbon Harvest platform.
This is a landmark opportunity to forward the climate-conscious economy in the Southeast.
Landowners and land managers interested in installing agroforestry projects can apply for design support and funding through Carbon Harvest. NOTE: Phase 1 application is now closed. Interested in being notified about a future phase? Sign up here.
We’re also busy engaging the business sector, as well as carbon-conscious individuals, to source the funding for these projects. Funders will be just as key as land stewards as we collectively test and prove the promise of agroforestry for climate drawdown in the Southern Appalachians.

“Carbon Harvest is the first to serve small landholders in the South, funding projects that holistically address climate drawdown.”
