To be the premier choice for private family forest owners in the US to generate income from carbon stored in their forests.
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. We have teamed with Finite Carbon, the creator of the CORE Carbon™ digital platform, to provide for online enrollment and monitoring. Our program allows you to enroll only the forest areas that you want rather than requiring 100% of your land.
You simply sign up online, defer harvests and inform us about any changes to your land.
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.
“ACR is excited to see smaller forestland owners entering the carbon market. 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”

The Kidd Family of South Carolina wanted to ensure that their forests continued to provide green space for the future.
