Through this program, Pheasants Forever will provide cost-sharing, technical assistance, outreach, and education to help underserved private forest landowners in Minnesota participate in emerging environmental markets like carbon offset and ecosystem services programs. Key objectives include increasing climate change adaptation, supporting forest health, and facilitating access to private environmental markets for historically marginalized landowners.
