LandYield is specifically designed for forest owners who own between 40 - 5,000 acres. Our approved methodology efficiently produces high-integrity offsets, enabling us to provide landowners with a greater share of their carbon value.

Year
commitment
When enrolling all or a portion of your forests, you make a 40-year commitment to LandYield. This commitment is divided into two 20-year periods. The first 20 years are the crediting period during which you will receive quarterly payments for deferring harvests on enrolled areas.
During the second 20-year period, you will be required to maintain the carbon sequestered to that point with the option to harvest additional growth, or, depending on registry rules at that time, to continue to defer harvests and receive carbon payments based on your forest’s on-going growth.
LandYield will manage all reporting and monitoring activities and pay associated costs for the 40-year period.

1-3
Harvest deferral & fixed prices
Landowner revenue over the first three years are set using a fixed offset price.
4-20
Harvest deferral & market-linked earnings
Beginning in the fourth year, your payments are directly tied to current carbon offset market prices. If carbon offset prices rise, your revenue will grow accordingly.
21-40
Limited harvests or continued market-linked offset earnings
In the second 20-year period, you are allowed to begin harvesting your enrolled lands (while maintaining Y20 carbon stocks). Depending on the registry rules then in effect, you may also have the opportunity to commit to a second harvest deferral to continue to receive additional offset revenue. In either case, you can still cut timber for your own personal use and in other specific circumstances.

Robust standards and approved methodology
LandYield’s carbon credits are verified against the robust requirements of the ACR Standard and approved ACR methodology for Small Non-Industrial Private Forestlands. This methodology enables efficient and rigorous quantification, monitoring and verification of GHG emission reductions and removals generated by small forest owners. Following successful verifications by qualified and accredited independent auditors, ACR issues offset credits onto its transparent and secure registry.
