HOW IS LANDYIELD DIFFERENT?
The LandYield Innovation
Until now, small-scale private forest owners’ access to the carbon market has been limited due to high project development and ongoing monitoring, reporting, and verification costs.
LandYield has brought together industry experts to streamline these processes. Our digital mapping tool simplifies the enrollment process and allows you to enroll only the forest areas that you want rather than requiring 100% of your land. Our remote sensing technology makes project monitoring and reporting fast and easy.
You simply sign up online, defer harvests and inform us about any changes to your land.
LANDYIELD’S REVENUE ADVANTAGES
Competitive payments, more often
LandYield aims to offer small landowners attractive economics, especially relative to other carbon programs. Payments are made on a quarterly basis for up to twenty years. When enrolling, you will receive an estimate of carbon offset volumes for the twenty year crediting period.

Integrity
Our team of experts work with independent verifiers to ensure that projects meet the most robust technical standards, promoting the long-term value of carbon offsets.
Transparency
Prior to enrollment, you will have clear visibility of the quantity of carbon credits that your site will generate, an estimate of the revenue you can expect to earn, and the term and nature of the commitment you will be making.
Technical Rigor
LandYield's projects comply with the American Carbon Registry's stringent, science-based methodologies and proven carbon accounting standards.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT LANDYIELD
“Several years ago, we started looking for income opportunities for our forests in the carbon world. We tried working with several different organizations and for one reason or another they couldn’t manage to get us enrolled. When we explored working with LandYield, their program made it so easy, we were able to enroll rather seamlessly. For nearly a year now, every quarter we’ve been getting payments, which is a wonderful acknowledgment of our conservation work”
Jamie Phillips Eddy Foundation
“LandYield has afforded my family the ability to sustain our family farm for generations to come. We have had nothing but great experiences dealing with the Landyield team and they have been very responsive and informative with answering all of our questions.”
George Gammon Mississippi
“I am the 3rd generation to own our family land, and I was looking for a way to ensure our family’s legacy would be able to continue to the next generation. Having a plan in place that provides a continuous means of paying the costs associated with land management, while contributing to improvement in our climate, allowed for a win-win situation by partnering with LandYield.”
Anthony Maddox Alabama
“The LandYield Program has given us a great option to help pay the expenses associated with property ownership. While some neighbors choose to clearcut trees, removing hardwood forests for a lifetime, we want our property with beautiful forests to be enjoyed by our family for many years to come. And the LandYield Program compliments our vision for our property.”
Emmett Beers Alabama
“LandYield has been a terrific group to deal with. They’ve followed through on everything and have been easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend this developer to anyone looking to generate revenue in the carbon space.”
Dennis O'Brien Kentucky
“We are very happy with the LandYield program so far. It has helped fund the conservation of our family farm and timberland through over six generations. My wife Robin and I pieced the farm tracts back together close to what her great-grandfather held over one hundred years ago. We plan to keep it together in a trust to pass on to our grandchildren. By doing so, we are able to provide a place for the next generations to hunt and enjoy the outdoors while preserving her family history.”
Brad Smith Tennessee

Our new methodology for Improved Forest Management on Small Non-Industrial Private Forestlands, developed in collaboration with Finite Carbon, rigorously addresses many of the hurdles to their participation in carbon markets to date”

This initiative is not just promising but revolutionary.”
