GreenTrees ACRE Reforestation - North America
GreenTrees ACRE Reforestation - North America
This project has restored over 130,000 acres across the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV) and South- Eastern US, with a large proportion of these efforts focused in the MAV, dubbed America’s Amazon. The project uses tree planting to establish largely hardwood trees on lands that have been in continuous agricultural use and have not been in a forested state for 10 years. Landowners commit to protecting the trees, and limited harvest is allowed after the trees grow to the point where crowding of trees is expected to cause some trees to die. GreenTrees is the largest reforestation program in the US, accounting for over 99% of the reforestation efforts.

The American Carbon Registry's Afforestation and Reforestation of Degraded Lands (ARR) methodology has been approved by the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) for the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) label. This signals that all 7,792,791 removals issued to GreenTrees under this methodology have received the CCP label.
GreenTrees reforestation has become the first forest or carbon removal project to achieve the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) label. This means that all of GreenTrees credits from inception have been tagged with the CCP label. (photo credit: Acre Investment Management)
Did you know that GreenTrees reforestation work is taking place in a vital habitat for biodiversity - with the Mississippi River Valley (MAV), an essential habitat for migratory birds and numerous plant and animal species, it "once supported 24 million acres of floodplain forest, swamps, sloughs and riverine habitat,” according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
