Membership Prerequisites

What are the prerequisites for membership in Forest Carbon Works?

Landowners’ forested holdings must be within the US, at least 500 acres in size
Forestland must also be at risk of current or future conversion (i.e., to a land type other than forest), and/or aggressive commercial harvesting.
Landowners’ forest management approaches must fit – or be adjusted to fit – the Conserve program’s requirements
Landowners must be current on their property taxes.
Landowners must not have leased their timber rights.
Commercial harvesting must be legally allowed on the property, but it must not be legally required to the extent that harvest levels are incompatible with our program.
Landowners that have already participated a harvest deferral program or another carbon program may or may not be eligible.
