Workshops

Please join us for a Voluntary Forest Carbon Market Workshop where participants will have the opportunity to learn directly from extension educators and practitioners working in the field about online tools and resources to better understand existing carbon market opportunities. During these one-day workshops, participants will begin in a classroom to discuss online tools and will have the ability to learn directly from professionals that work in the voluntary carbon market space. In the afternoon, participants will visit a nearby forest carbon offset project site for an in-depth look at what project management looks like.

Forestland owners of all parcel sizes are encouraged to attend. Other forestry professions and extension professions are encouraged to attend. There is no cost to attend a workshop. Food will be provided during the workshop. Participants are eligible for travel reimbursements up to $150.

We will be reserving a block of rooms at a nearby hotel for those who want to make the trip over more than 1 day (e.g. staying the night before or night after for those traveling from further away).

Workshop agendas will be updated here as more details are confirmed.
