[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5621172, member: 20594"] I believe your speaking about carbon sequestration programs through a non profit organization like the Nature Conservancy....atleast that's one program I've heard a person speak on back in March....there may be others? My understanding is that the program has begun in east Tennessee but hasn't made it to middle yet. But if memory is correct it varies based on the property, the number of stems per acre, type of trees, age of trees, etc....so one example the speaker gave was the property owner signed a 20 or 25 year agreement and was paid 250 to 350 per acre. (one time payment). And you can still manage timber and even cut some....but only a very limited percentage of total acreage per a management plan. So clearly this program wouldn't be for everyone...but for someone who has enough acreage and who isn't interested in harvesting timber in a large scale it could be an opportunity.....personally I'm not signing up for a 25 year agreement...but everyone has different goals for their property. I agree with previous post...sit down with your local NRCS office...talk with your local Forester....several great programs for those willing to do all the paperwork and be patient. [/QUOTE]
