As part of its weekly column highlighting positive news, It Wasn’t All Bad, The Week Magazine highlighted Working Forest Conservation Easements, which Pacific Forest Trust pioneered, as an innovative way to enlist private landowners in the climate fight.
Pacific Forest Trust co-founder Laurie Wayburn tells The Week: “Conserving and managing forests to be more naturally climate-resilient and carbon-rich is the most immediate and scalable thing we can do to address climate change…In five to 10 years, we can make a huge difference — literally millions of tons of increased, secure sequestration.”
