CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION-CATTARAUGUS COUNTY Partners with NEW YORK FOREST OWNERS ASSOCIATION for a FREE presentation on FOREST CARBON PROGRAMS

• Saturday, November 15, 2025, 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM

New York Forest Owners Association and CCE- Cattaraugus County invite you to join them on Saturday, November 15th for an opportunity to participate in a presentation to better understand the Forest Carbon Programs available. This event is free!

Since trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store it in their branches, trunks, and roots, they are recognized as an important tool in combating climate change. This is another characteristic of forests that make them a valuable asset. Under the right circumstances, owners can participate in a carbon market program that will produce revenue for them. When faced with financial challenges, such as increases in property taxes or unanticipated family financial needs, this can be an important option which allows retaining your forested property. For others, it may just be a means of making a long-term investment that produces revenue.

Programs are now available to owners with minimums ranging from 30 acres to 100 acres of forested property.

Attendance offers the opportunity to learn the details of this relatively new program now available to small forest property owners. Come and see if the program meets your needs.
