Reforestation offers far-reaching benefits, from regulating carbon to enhancing biodiversity! A critical element of a project is assessing any potential negative impacts on endangered species. Resources like the IUCN Red List and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) critical habitat map provide comprehensive data on endangered species' habitats, population sizes, and major threats. 🗺️ At Living Carbon, we leverage geospatial analyses to avoid negative impacts and improve co-benefits for endangered species in the Appalachian region. For example, we can aid endangered species by restoring habitat connectivity and planting beneficial species in additional to restoring forest ecosystem function! 🌳 Check out this map by USFWS to learn more about federally listed species! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dh2Qeb2k #Reforestation #Biodiversity #EndangeredSpecies

👀 Check out this video tour of Living Carbon's greenhouse by MCJ Collective! We are excited to share where our trees begin their reforestation and afforestation journeys. 🌱 #naturebasedsolutions #greenhouse #carboncapture
Living Carbon is fast-tracking trees for the planet’s future. 🌲 The company’s enhanced photosynthesis trait allows trees to grow faster and accumulate about 53% more biomass, leading to greater carbon sequestration and longer-lasting wood products. We’re thrilled to support Maddie Hall, Patrick Mellor, and the entire team at Living Carbon for many reasons. 👩🔬 Product Innovation: Prioritizing product innovation over practice changes (e.g., no-till farming) simplifies the adoption of nature-based solutions for farmers. 🌱 Land Restoration: In the US, 1.6 million acres of degraded land can benefit from Living Carbon's trees, which proliferate, tolerate heavy metals, and help restore ecosystems. 📈 VCM: Living Carbon supports a robust Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) by generating diverse income streams (e.g., timber) and benchmarking its trees against others to ensure high-quality credits. 🌳 Scalability: Tree enhancement is scalable due to existing planting infrastructure. Living Carbon focuses on the Poplar tree, leveraging its well-known genetics to optimize carbon removal processes. Take a tour through the Living Carbon greenhouse below!

Take a look at how our ornamental trees are doing! 👀🌿 A few months ago, these photosynthesis-enhanced poplars were shipped across 20 US states. Now rooted, they are able to both capture carbon and beautify landscapes! 👥 If you are interested, make sure to continue to follow along with our LinkedIn page and website for more updates on our community programs. https://lnkd.in/gcRd3A65 #ornamentaltrees #community #naturebasedsolutions #photosynthesis

Check out these 2.5 year old trees planted by a landowner in Pennsylvania! These trees are already regenerating an abandoned mineland, where over time they will establish shade for other species, and restore soil quality as their roots grow. 🌱 This is an example of a successful control planting of wild-type hybrid poplar. We started planting wild-type trees early on to evaluate the suitability of sites based on many factors, including soil, terrain, climate, competition, and predation. Our learnings from these test sites help us optimize conditions for the planting of photosynthesis-enhanced poplars alongside a diverse mix of native species. 🌳 #landrestoration #successfulplanting
