We Understand your Land is your Legacy.

We know the challenges small landowners face in the south because we’re local landowners who live and work there too. Our southern roots give us a unique opportunity to understand and partner with landowners to realize the full carbon potential of their forests, optimize ecological benefits like water and air quality, and preserve a legacy.

Conserving Forests Where Harvest Pressure is Real

In the timber basket of the southern U.S. where harvest pressure is real and property rights are very meaningful, more than half of timberland is owned by non-industrial private landowners. Many are small forest landowners whose land has been historically too fragmented or too small to participate in the carbon market.

NativState was founded to change this scenario; to partner with small landowners, with as little as 40 acres, and connect them with the global carbon market by aggregating and sustainably managing properties and then returning the carbon revenue to the local landowners—over 750 landowners and $20M to date.

What makes NativState’s forest carbon credits high quality?

Our focus on conservation, true addionality, and neighbor-to-neighbor partnerships with our landowners make working with NativState a unique experience.

Latest methodologies and standards:

o Our projects are ACR 2.1 verified and CCP approved.

Real harvest pressure.

o Not every eligible acre or landowner is a fit. Our selectivity is part of what protects the credibility and long-term value of the credits.

Accountability

o We do not develop the project and walk away. We are your long-term partner throughout the life of the project.

Co-benefits beyond carbon.

Positive community, water, air and wildlife benefits.

Growing New Forests Through ARR

NativState is enrolling acres in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi in our Forest Restoration Program.

NativState helps landowners like you generate income by turning unused or unproductive land into a thriving, managed forest – at no cost to you.

Your land may qualify if you own at least 20 acres of unforested land that has not been forested for at least 10 years. We handle everything from planting trees to long-term forest management, so you can enjoy your land and leave a lasting legacy for your family.

“NativState forest carbon revenue will help our family conserve our forest and improve wildlife habitat so future generations will enjoy the beauty and abundance of this land."
