In February 2009, Blandin Foundation’s Vital Forests / Vital Communities Initiative hosted a conference, Forest Values and Carbon Markets: Opportunities for Minnesota.
One outcome of the conference was a webinar that drilled deeper into the implications of carbon markets for forests and forest practices in Minnesota.
With the technical assistance of U of M Extension Educator Eli Sagor, the webinar was delivered on April 8, 2009, and is presented here in four segments:
- Anthony D’Amato’s presentation - Tony is an Assistant Professor at the U of M Department of Natural Resources, and presented forest management strategies for increasing carbon stocks and sequestration
- Mark Jacobs’s presentation - Mark is the Aitkin County Land Commissioner, and talked about the Minnesota Northwoods Carbon Credit Partnership Plan
- Steve Morse’s presentation – Steve is the Executive Director MN Environmental Partnership, and spoke from a policy perspective from federal, state, and regional levels.
- The Q&A session at the end of the webinar
