The Fundy Model Forest has been granted $251,382 by the department of Environment and Climate Change, Community Based Climate Action fund, to carry out the project "Operationalizing Carbon Sequestration Strategies on the Ground on New Brunswick Private Woodlots".  The FMF will work with woodlot owners, contractors and organizations to increase the capacity of the sector to increase resilience and carbon storage in managed forests.  

We are looking forward to contributing to the knowledge and opportunities associated with managing private forests for carbon sequestration.
