This is TCT's first Improved Forest Management carbon project in Canada. The project will be developed under the _Improved Forest Management on Canadian Forestlands Methodology_ with ACR, and will employ a dynamic baseline with a comparable property component to ensure high integrity.

These easements protect forests that would historically be at risk of clear-cutting as timber matures and financial pressures mount. Enrollment allows landowners to manage for multiple uses - including forestry, agricultural, and conservation - while NSWWT provides a long-term forest management plan with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification to support sustainable production and broader ecological benefits. **Carbon Revenue Drives Lasting Impact **The project aggregates multiple private landowners and NSWWT-owned properties into a single, scalable project, with the ability to add landowners and expand climate impact over the coming years. Carbon revenues allow NSWWT to fund long-term stewardship and monitoring of easements without requiring substantial contributions from landowners or reliance on grants. "NSWWT partners with landowners to strengthen and celebrate their long-term stewardship legacy. Through our collaboration with The Climate Trust, we help landowners protect their forests while gaining new opportunities to contribute to a growing conservation network in a region with limited easement options." — Mary Jane Rodger, Executive Director, Nova Scotia Working Woodlands Trust **A Solution for Private Landowners **Approximately 70% of land in Nova Scotia is privately owned, and average parcel sizes are shrinking as properties pass between generations. As larger tracts of contiguous forest become harder to maintain — and as taxation and economic pressures increase — clear-cut harvesting with short rotation cycles has historically been the default choice for landowners. NSWWT's forward-looking stewardship approach, combined with carbon project participation, offers a viable alternative: forests that remain healthy, functional, and resilient well into the future. **About the Nova Scotia Working Woodlands Trust (NSWWT) **The Nova Scotia Working Woodlands Trust was established to address a gap in land conservation across the province by offering landowners a path to continue working their woodland while ensuring long-term stewardship and conservation through Working Forest Community Easements. **About The Climate Trust **Founded in 1997, The Climate Trust drives climate impact through carbon markets. By scaling nature-based solutions and mobilizing market mechanisms, TCT promotes healthy ecosystems and resilient communities through project development and financing.
