The Northern Forest is a buttress against climate change. Its vast forestland stores billions of tons of carbon in trees and soil and produces wood, a renewable resource that can be used instead of fossil fuels or carbon-intensive materials to significantly cut emissions.
The Center believes that a full spectrum of responsible forest management – from ecological reserves to sustainable forest management – enables the Northern Forest to contribute significantly to climate change mitigation while maintaining a viable forest-based economy.
