Meet The Stewarts

Forest Carbon Works enables me to harness the power of the forest our family has owned since 1892.

— Jon Stewart, Forest Carbon Works Member

Instead of selling timber, landowners Jonathan and Janice Stewart sell the carbon from their family woodlands. They have started to receive annual payments of nearly $10,000 for their 120-acre forest east of Portland, Oregon.

Owned by their family since the late 1800s, the forest has been maintained primarily for conservation, recreation, and passive timber management. The Stewart family can now add carbon sequestration as an official activity for their family forest!

How it works

Forest Carbon Works makes it simple.

1
Create an account and take the screening quiz

Sign up to work with us! We’ll ask a few basic questions to see if you qualify for a forest carbon project.

If you qualify, apply online

We’ll collect more information about your forest land, including current uses and legal details.

3
Assess your land with a free carbon inventory

We’ll send a forest technician to do an inventory of your land and see whether a project is viable.

4
Analyze the results and officially enroll

If the land inventory shows a project is viable, you can enroll as a Forest Carbon Works member.

Build a project and get paid

We’ll handle all the paperwork and arrange a third-party audit so you can start receiving payments for your carbon.
