Income for Landowners.

Integrity for Buyers.

Landowners earn income by conserving their forests.
Companies achieve net zero by buying their carbon.
Together with our conservation partners, we bring both sides together — ensuring every credit is real, additional, and lasting.

Upstream Carbon’s Program

Keeping Forests as Forests

We prevent conversion of forests to development through avoided-conversion carbon projects.

Data-Driven

Advanced maps and machine learning identify which lands are most at risk.

High-Integrity Credits

Additionality is built on both the probability of development and the amount of forest likely to be lost.

Permanent Protection

Forests are safeguarded with conservation easements, backed by a 40-year carbon program commitment.

Funding Conservation

Carbon payments directly support landowners and finance permanent conservation.

Land that is a good fit for our program is typically...

30+ acres of low-slope non-wetlands

Valued at under $8k/acre

Within 2 hours of a transportation hub or urban center

Unharvested since 2010
