DESCRIPTION
NRF and partners will work to develop the market for carbon offsets and water quality within the Nisqually Watershed. Carbon offset contracts can provide long term development restrictions and guarantee certified forest management for 100 years. Water quality trading can also provide for specific water quality improvements on forest land. Both markets provide incentives for improved practices leading to better habitat and improved water quality and regular quantity beyond regulatory requirements. Budget represents what it would take to fund the program for 4 years.
