FCWG Supports Rural Forests Markets Act

Author: Forest-Climate Working Group

Twenty-nine members of the Forest-Climate Working Group signed and submitted to Congressional leaders a letter supporting the Rural Forests Markets Act. This bill, if approved, would help unlock capital investment that would allow America’s family forest owners to participate in markets for carbon and other values. It also would support a diverse set of private forest owners seeking to participate in market opportunities that have high upfront costs but an abundance of environmental and economic benefits, especially in rural areas.
