NativState
NativState LLC (www.nativstate.com) is a forest carbon project development company partnering with small to medium-sized landowners across the southern United States to deliver access to global carbon markets. We work with landowners to improve and conserve their forests while realizing a financial return based on the creation of high-quality carbon credits sold to companies seeking to meet and exceed their carbon emission reduction goals. Using ACR’s Improved Forest Management (IFM) methodology and our forty-year carbon agreement, we work with landowners to provide an alternative economic use to their forests to generate income versus solely aggressive harvesting. Through this process NativState empowers forest owners with the ability to manage their properties sustainably and provide the co-benefits of improved water quality, improved wildlife habitation, and improved overall health of the forest itself.
