FORESTRY

Canadian forests play a crucial role in the carbon cycle, acting as both reservoirs and sources of carbon. On a global scale, forests are indispensable in the battle against climate change, as they absorb carbon emitted from fossil fuel burning and land use changes.

Carbon origination in forestry projects is achieved through a variety of sustainable practices, such as improved forest management, reforestation, and avoided conversion.

Improved Forest Management (IFM)

IFM involves strategic changes in forest management to enhance carbon storage and reduce emissions. These practices encompass increasing site occupancy, implementing fertilization techniques, minimizing soil compaction, employing partial harvesting, and reducing slash-pile burning and forest conversion. IFM optimizes carbon sequestration while promoting sustainable forest growth.

Avoided Conversion (AC)

The focus of AC practices is to prevent the permanent loss of forest lands. By actively reducing development on forested areas, AC safeguards critical carbon storage capacity and preserves the ecological integrity of Canadian forests.

Afforestation and Reforestation

Afforestation entails planting trees on lands that have been non-forested for at least 20 years, while reforestation involves replanting on lands that have been non-forested for less than 20 years. Both practices contribute to enhancing carbon capture and restoring previously deforested areas.

At Carbon RX, we stand at the forefront of innovation in the industry, embracing the best practices to collaboratively work with landowners and identify the most suitable system for each unique project. Our approach integrates IFM, afforestation, and reforestation with innovative grazing and fire-break practices. By amalgamating cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, we enhance efficiencies and accuracy in carbon origination within forestry projects.

The preservation of Canadian forests lies at the heart of our mission at Carbon RX. We prioritize a non-invasive approach, leveraging new and emerging technologies, including remote sensing and satellite imagery. Working alongside landowners, we employ advanced measurement and quantification techniques to create a healthier planet through sustainable forest management.
