King County’s Forest Carbon Program is a component of the region’s Land Conservation Initiative, which aims to protect existing tree canopy and natural areas, and provide more public parks, biking and walking trails, and open spaces – in the heart of the metro area that your business calls home.

UPDATE:

King County is the nation’s first local government to offer a certified carbon credit program that protects local forests.

The county’s new Forest Carbon Program offers local companies the opportunity to offset a portion of their carbon emissions within King County where their employees and their families can explore and enjoy the protected forests in both urban and rural communities.

“We are making it possible for local companies to help us protect forests, confront climate change, and promote healthy habitat right here where their employees live, work, and play,” said Executive Constantine. “Our first-of-its-kind carbon credit program has the potential to be a national model for public-private partnerships that improve the quality of life for people and wildlife in their own backyards.”
