Governor’s Task Force on the Creation of a Forest Carbon Program

By:

The Governor’s Task Force on the Creation of a Forest Carbon Program was established by Executive Order on January 13, 2021. The Executive Order directs the Task Force to develop incentives to encourage forestland management practices that increase carbon storage specifically on woodland owners of 10 to 10,000 acres while maintaining harvest levels overall.   The several million acres of Maine’s small forestland owners (10 to 10,000 acre ownerships) can play an important role in helping Maine achieve the Task Force’s recommended forest sector-wide target. Doing so will require investment in technical assistance and improved forest management.
