STACKING WATER AND CARBON DATA
BAy John Casey
s forest landowners seek ways to increase the value of their land, an emerging strategy pres- ents a possible solution: stacking resource incentives focused on
co-benefits like water quality and carbon credits. This approach not only creates additional reve- nue streams but also promotes sustainable land management practices that help address critical environmental challenges.
Leaders in both the public and private sectors are driving projects that highlight the potential for landowners to capitalize on these opportu- nities. By managing forests for multiple ecosys- tem services, landowners can tap into emerging markets, securing financial returns while enhanc- ing environmental health.
