Natural Climate Solutions
Managing and restoring ecosystems to benefit our climate
North America's leading nature-based project developer and carbon credit portfolio
In partnership with landowners, our forest carbon and nature-based projects are positively changing landscapes and generating trusted, third-party verified conservation and registry-tagged removal credits. Our experience, cutting-edge technology, and unwavering commitment to ground truth has ranked Anew as Environmental Finance’s Best Project Developer (North American Markets) for eight consecutive years.
Improved Forest Management
Our team will guide you through your options for diversifying revenue through carbon focused forest management, prioritizing increased forest stocking and improving biodiversity.
Grasslands
Restoring or conserving natural grasslands can have a measurable climate impact through soil carbon sequestration. A minimum of 10,000 acres is recommended to qualify as a viable project.
Reforestation and Afforestation
The establishment of forests across landscapes that have been previously been degraded by human activity or natural disasters is creditable through the Climate Action Reserve, Verra, and ACR. We’ll guide you through options for your land.
Wildfire Mitigation
Prescribed burns, thinning, pruning, mastication, or mechanical removal of vegetation are all eligible for avoided wildfire emissions in the western United States in collaboration with Climate Forward, a sub-unit of the Climate Action Registry.
Blue Carbon
The protection and restoration of coastal wetland forests, typically dominated by mangroves, salt marsh plants and seagrasses plays a critical role in carbon sequestration and climate adaptation.

Project examples on private, public, and indigenous lands
Rusk County Forestry Project
The Anew – Rusk County Forestry Project is located on 79,307 acres of northern hardwood, aspen, and oak forest in Rusk County, Wisconsin. The County has practiced intensive commercial harvesting across its ownership since first enrolling its land under Wisconsin’s Forest Crop Law
Doyon Forestry Project
The Doyon Native Community Forest Project is located on 172,737 acres of boreal forest across Alaska’s Yukon-Koyukuk and Southeast Fairbanks boroughs, and is the property of Doyon, Limited, a for-profit corporation owned and managed by Alaska Native shareholders. Historically,
Allagash Headwaters Forestry Project
Allagash Headwaters is located on approximately 14,800 acres in the industrial forests of northern Maine and owned by Hull Forestlands Maine. The Hull family of companies, which includes timberland scattered across New England and a sawmill in Pomfret Center Connecticut, focuses
Common questions about land enrollment
4,000 contiguous or non-contiguous acres is the approximate bare minimum footprint for a viable project.
The implications on land management are directly related to the project type chosen. Generally speaking, improved forest management projects do not allow harvesting to exceed forest growth, but harvesting is still permitted. If commercial harvesting is undertaken on the project area, either certification under FSC, SFI, ATFS, or a state approved forest management plan must be maintained. Additionally, compliance projects face restrictions on the size of even-aged harvests and are not permitted to utilize broadcast fertilization.
Length of commitment is dependent on project type and can range from 40 years for voluntary projects to over 100 years for compliance projects.
Voluntary projects are subject to the rulesets/protocols designated by the various voluntary offset registries (e.g. ACR, CAR, Verra, etc.). Compliance projects are subject to the California Air Resource Board’s Cap-And-Trade Regulation and the associated Forest Offset Protocol. Voluntary and compliance credits have different communities of buyers and trade at different pricing levels.
Anew leverages decades of experience along with proprietary software to determine your carbon yield. We evaluate forest stocking, age, species and other data to perform complex calculations in accordance with both voluntary and compliance carbon offset standards. Please contact us to begin the evaluation process and get your free estimate.
Credits can take anywhere from 18 to 24 months to generate, depending on many factors including: project type, location, forest heterogeneity, verifiers’ schedules, and regulatory body backlogs. Anew manages your project from start to finish, using our reputation and experience with regulators and verifiers to advocate for your project and ensure credits are generated as efficiently as possible.
Anew is active in Blue Carbon
Coastal and marine ecosystems are vital to the health of our planet, serving as nursery grounds for marine life, filtration systems for onshore runoff, and natural storm surge buffers. Marine plants also naturally capture and store substantial amounts of carbon. Development, deforestration, and damaging upstream activities can release carbon into the atmosphere. Carbon projects incentivize carbon to be stored in this way and offer legally enforceable protection. We can determine if you have a viable blue carbon project and help you make the most of the opportunity by bringing it to market.

5% of U.S. timberlands change hands each year for investment, development, and wood product purposes. Landowner intent by itself does not guarantee long-term forest protection, but carbon projects do.
