Get Paid for Deferring Your Timber Harvest

 

NCX is the first forest carbon program to feature 1-year harvest deferral terms, no acreage minimums, and no enrollment or participation fees.

 As holders of 95% of privately owned forests, we cannot achieve meaningful climate and community impact without including woodland owners like you.  NCX measures every acre of forest every year using remote sensing, AI, and rigorous data practices. This powerful dataset is the foundation of NCX’s forest carbon marketplace, Natural Capital Exchange.

How it Works

  1. Submit your property information for a no-cost, remote assessment via Basemap. No commitment required.

  2. Determine the volume of harvest you're willing to defer and the price at which you'd be willing to do so. Submit your bid in the NCX auction.

  3. If your NCX bid is accepted, reduce your timber harvesting plans to meet your deferral commitment.

  4. At the end of the one-year agreement, following verification of your deferral commitment, NCX issues payment. You are then eligible to join the next enrollment cycle to sell carbon credits the next year.

"It’s the beauty of this program: we’ll get yearly income instead of having to wait for the trees to mature. Leaving timber standing generates income, allows it to grow longer and, every year, the trees put on volume. So two things happen: the trees absorb more carbon and grows in timber value. It’s a win-win.”

– Keith McDaniel, Participating Landowner from Mississippi

Join hundreds of landowners and sell your forest carbon credits

The NCX summer enrollment cycle drew participants from across the Lake States, the U.S. Southeast, Appalachia and New England, ranging in size from under 25 acres to over 120K acres. More than 1,500 landowners requested a free property assessment, and over 850 submitted bids to sell forest carbon on the exchange.
