CARBON CAPTURE
Chestnut Carbon announced its Family Forest Carbon Project (VCS4268) as the first IFM project in North America verified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for Biodiversity Conservation. The FSC's Verified Impact program enhances credibility for carbon projects by linking results to validated ecological outcomes.
This milestone provides proof of Chestnut's practices generating biodiversity benefits and maintaining ecosystem services.
