Step by Step Process

1. Landowner submits application and fee.

2. The Carbon Fund (TCF) conducts the site review to determine eligibility for the Carbon Sequestration Management Program. Landowner signs the Agreement To Sell his/her carbon credits.

3. The Landowner, if appropriate and desired, enrolls the land in a government conservation assistance program such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) (non-perpetual option).

4. TCF lists and markets the Landowner's future carbon credits.

5. TCF receives purchase offer from a buyer for part or all of the Landowner's future carbon credits.

6. TCF presents the Landowner the purchase offer and discusses concurrent execution of the Environmental Assets Easement.

7. Landowner signs Easement, TCF pays Landowner and files the Easement.

8. TCF conducts the planting and management of the Land as described in the Forest Management Principles.

9. Landowner and TCF develop a site specific Forest Management Plan (based on the Forest Management Principles) that will describe how the Land will be developed and managed for the duration of the Environmental Assets Easement.

10. TCF conducts long term monitoring and verification of the sequestered carbon on the Land.
