What exactly are the carbon offsets The Nature Conservancy is offering?
By contributing to the Conservancy’s voluntary carbon offset program you are helping fund Nature Conservancy projects that are specifically designed to prevent the emissions of and capture and store carbon and thus, help reduce the build up of greenhouse gases that are causing climate change. When you make a contribution, your money will be used to set aside land, provide funds for forest conservation, plant trees and measure and verify the amount of carbon captured and stored over the next 70 years, by when the forest will have matured. Your contribution will support the investment necessary to protect land and plant trees that will grow and capture and store your carbon offset over the course of 70 years.
