The Nature Conservancy

Working with the Nature Conservancy, we have created an innovative forest carbon offering for private landowners to advance forest conservation that puts the power of the market to work to protect forests and fight climate change.

In December, 2009, the Nature Conservancy launched Working Woodlands, a model forest conservation program that aims to protect forests and fight climate change. Through an alliance with Bluesource, the Working Woodlands program allows joint development of market-based incentives that reward landowners who demonstrate exceptional forest management practices.

Building on the Conservancy and Bluesource’s combined experience with land protection, forest certification and carbon finance, Working Woodlands uses an innovative combination of long-term working forest conservation agreements, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) forest management certification, and carbon market payments to make conservation a more attractive proposition for landowners with no out-of-pocket costs.

Verified Emission Reduction Association (VERA)

VERA, was formed in 2016 with the intent to provide the real-world facts surrounding California’s current offset program under AB 32, and to ensure a continued role for offsets in a post-2020 California carbon reduction program. The group was formed from professionals working to achieve real emission reductions on behalf of the State of California—a state that stands at the forefront of emission reduction technologies and innovation, due in no small part to the vibrant carbon offset program it has created.

Compliance-grade offsets have proven to be a key policy mechanism that achieves numerous complementary and critical greenhouse gas policy goals. From equipment manufacturers producing advanced engineering and monitoring technologies to providers of robust verification services, offset programs are capable of creating jobs with specialized skills and local revenue—benefits that are strongly demonstrated by California’s carbon reduction program.

Pacific Forest Trust (PFT)

Bluesource has created a strategic alliance with Pacific Forest Trust to assist land trusts and private landowners in bringing high quality forest carbon projects to market.

Since 1993, the Pacific Forest Trust (PFT) has been dedicated to conserving and sustaining America’s vital, productive forest landscapes. Working with forest owners, communities and an array of partners, PFT advances innovative, incentive-based strategies to safeguard our nation’s diverse forests. In so doing, PFT is ensuring forests continue to provide people everywhere — from rural communities to urban centers— with a wealth of benefits, including clean water, sustainably harvested wood, green jobs, wildlife habitat and a livable climate.
