プロジェクト概要
Rooted in principles of conservation and stewardship, NativState presents small landowners with an opportunity to realize the full carbon potential of their forests. Their Improved Forest Management plans reward sustainable land practices. When a property is enrolled in a NativState forest carbon program, it helps conserve critical wildlife habitat and forge a legacy for the land as part of a global effort to turn the tide on our world’s many climate challenges.
The S&J Taylor Forest Carbon Project balances conservation of nearly 18,000 forested acres of both Saline River bottomland riparian hardwoods and “working” pines in the heart of timber country in south-central Arkansas. Diverse oak, gum, cypress, hickory, and pine forests located within the Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregion represent important habitat and provide essential buffers that abate sedimentation and nutrient runoff between development and waterways. By committing to maintain forest CO₂e stocks through certified sustainable management, the project will provide significant climate benefits through carbon sequestration and important co-benefits to the Ouachita watershed, local communities, and improved water resources to downstream neighbors throughout the Gulf Coastal Plain Region. In the S&J Taylor Forest Carbon Project, large tracts of riparian bottomland hardwoods surround the pristine waters of the Upper Saline River and are essential buffers from runoff to the river and to the habitat of the endemic freshwater Arkansas fatmucket mussels.
