This $153,786 Project Grant award to Michigan State University (MSU) from the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) under the Renewable Resources Extension Act (CFDA 10.515) program supports the development of tools and educational resources to help forest landowners understand and access forest carbon markets.
The key products and services to be delivered include:
- A web-based tool to conduct cost-benefit analyses for landowners on delaying timber harvests to generate carbon credits
- Webinars and workshops to build capacity on forest carbon market opportunities among landowners, foresters, and extension educators
- Evaluation of the tool's impact on landowner understanding and decision-making related to forest carbon markets
This effort aims to address gaps in landowner awareness and knowledge about leveraging their forests for carbon sequestration and generating revenue through carbon credit programs. The award period runs from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025.
