A Path Forward
for Landowners
For forest landowners looking to max- imize the value of their land, stacking resource incentives is an evolving and promising strategy. By participating in both carbon and water markets, land- owners can generate multiple revenue streams while contributing to important environmental outcomes such as cleaner air, healthier watersheds and more resil- ient ecosystems.
The projects spearheaded by Smalli- gan and Thomas are leading the way, providing valuable insights into how landowners can navigate these emerging markets. As the demand for ecosystem services continues to grow, landowners who embrace the potential of co-benefits will be well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities while making a last- ing impact on the environment.
T h e r e“’ s a h u g e
opportunity
here. By stacking
benefits like carbon credits and water quality improvements, we can attract corporate partners who are willing to invest in conservation at a local level.”
