Key Concepts

The Good Forest project is a co-op set up with the state of Maine to help Forest owners get into carbon farming by selling the carbon offsets their Forest land generates. in the carbon offset distribution Channel The Good Forest project is a wholesaler that resells quality carbon offsets to carbon marketplaces, corporations and, eventually, individuals or retail customers who are looking to use carbon offsets to reduce their carbon footprint from carbon emissions. You can learn more at our web site https://www.thegoodforestproject.org/

While there are different options a forest owner has to resell their carbon offsets, we believe the Good Forest Project offers the best value for Maine forest owners to resell their carbon.
