Kari Easthouse, a forester with the Nova Scotia Landowners and Forest Fibre Pro- ducers Association, said the conference looked at possibilities for woodlot owners interested in participating in the carbon offset market. “The concept there is that companies… that are under a cap and trade system, when they can’t meet their emissions targets in that jurisdiction, they have an opportunity to buy what are called car- bon offsets from other places,” Easthouse said. “One of the ways you can produce a carbon offset for sale is manage your forest in a way that stores more carbon in it.” A release from the CBPP states the event will explore opportunities to develop long- term storage of carbon, and trade of car- bon credits in the forestry sector, with a focus on how woodlot owners and forest operators might use the sale of carbon off- set credits to help finance improved forest management. Easthouse said it is hard to cover the cost Photo by Matt Draper of doing good forest management based on The first Maritime Forest Carbon Oppor- current forestry products. tunities Conference took place at the Port “Adding carbon as a potential product Hawkesbury Civic Centre on Wednesday Government announces that you’re selling is a way to fund bet- and Thursday of last week. ter forest management,” Easthouse said. “There’s some knowledge out there around The day featured speakers who, stated expansion to pre-primary program what’s involved in it but it’s not always what the release, focused “how the sale of offset people think or not always as simple as peo- credits is functioning in other jurisdic- ple think.
