Northam Forest Carbon is available to give online and in-person presentations on forest carbon sequestration and storage to towns, conservation commissions, nonprofit organizations and associations. These sessions typically run about one hour and are delivered by Tim Stout, Principal and Founder of NFC.
NFC also provides forest carbon walks on the Jockey Hill Farm in Shrewsbury, Vermont to increase awareness among landowners about how they can enhance sequestration and storage on their property. These walks are offered periodically throughout the year. Please send Tim a message here if interested.
The walks typically take place at Jockey Hill Farm.
Post Webinar Field Walk

Understanding Forest Carbon Payment Programs for Landowners
Join Ali Kosiba, the Climate Forester for the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, for a webinar discussing the importance of forests in mitigating climate change, ways we can manage forests with carbon in mind, and how forest carbon payment programs work. She’ll talk about what options are available to landowners with a focus on smaller parcels, how the programs differ, and things landowners should consider before enrolling in any program.
See post-webinar field walk on Saturday May 21st as a follow up.
How Vermont Landowners Are Actively Pursuing Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Vermont
Location: Jockey Hill Farm at 630 Coldham Rd, Shrewsbury, VT
Registration: No registration necessary
On this walk, we will explore why our Vermont forests are so critical for mitigating climate change. The focus will be to observe what we as landowners can do to enhance Carbon Sequestration and Storage (CSS) to enable our forests to become ever growing carbon sinks. Now's an exciting time to observe CSS in action because Vermont is introducing options for landowners to actively apply it to their land. Jockey Hill Farm in Shrewsbury is currently under assessment for participation in two of these programs, and other landowners might want to consider CSS for their land. Tim Stout will be joined by Sarah Ford, Regional Forester for Forest Carbon Works and Tim's consulting forester, Mike White at Calfee Woodland Management. Tim has recently had a detailed map created of his property to make it easier for walkers to explore it at their will. We will orient ourselves off this map as we talk about CSS and other new land management practices that are being applied to the farm. If you have any questions, please contact Tim at stoutim@gmail.com or (617) 899-1011.

Location: Forest Center at the Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Park
Register at: https://forestcarbonwalk.eventbrite.com
Join us on an exploratory walk around Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock to see how our forests through carbon sequestration and storage play a vital role in mitigating the impacts of climate change. This walk will build off the presentation that Sarah Ford at Forest Carbon Works will give on the previous Monday night, July 19 at 5:30 pm on providing carbon market access for smaller landowners. In addition to being a practicing forester in Vermont and a forester for Forest Carbon Works, Sarah studied under Dr. Bill Keeton at UVM where they did much of their work at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. Come learn how landowners can enhance the carbon stored on their land, how they can avoid the depletion of carbon and how they can participate in carbon markets.
