Located in Molalla, OR, Bill Rowan and son Ian’s nearly 200-acre family forest is a unique property containing pockets of rare old growth forest. The Rowan’s family forest protects vital waterways and provides an especially diverse range of wildlife habitats. The old-growth stands in particular serve as a bastion for many rare and threatened species.
At 120 acres just east of Portland, Oregon, the Stewart’s family forest has been owned by their family since the late 1800s. Their property has been maintained primarily for conservation, recreation, and passive timber management. The Stewart family now adds carbon sequestration as an official activity for their family forest!
Read their story
When the Hollands purchased their 1000+ forest in coastal Maine, the land was owned by a logging company and had been heavily overcut. When Nick Holland first heard about Forest Carbon Works engaging with private forest landowners, he was intrigued. He feels that Forest Carbon Works is making the benefits of the carbon market available to private landowners. This access is critically important to preventing the whole sale liquidation of forestland across the country and creating alternative revenue paths for private landowners. In doing so, they can steward their forests with greater support.
