The Technology of Trees

A Scalable, Low-Risk Strategy for Landowners to Boost Income While Enhancing Ecosystems and Creating Jobs

Planting trees at scale offers a scalable, low-risk solution to combating climate change, as highlighted by the National Academy of Sciences. Reforestation provides maximum climate mitigation benefits, outperforming other options like natural forest management, improved plantations, avoided wood fuel, and fire management. It also:

Slows climate change and improves air quality
Enhances water quality and stabilizes soil erosion
Generates new wildlife habitats and creates jobs

Maximize Carbon Revenues

A New Approach to Optimize Carbon Incomes

Typically, forest carbon deals try to maximize carbon. GreenTrees takes a different approach by optimizing carbon revenues with timber income while still delivering conservation benefits. Utilizing our proprietary cottonwood and hardwood interplanting method, GreenTrees forests grow faster and generate carbon, biomass, and conservation benefits, creating multiple income events for the committed landowner. Our optimization approach enables you to receive carbon income in earlier years and compensation for timber thinning over time

Turning Trees Into Income

Unlock multiple revenue streams
with your land and GreenTrees.

With a GreenTrees forest, landowners can capitalize on accelerated forest growth and diverse income opportunities. By leveraging our proprietary interplanting method, you’ll not only enhance your land’s ecological value but also benefit from structured harvest income and substantial carbon revenue. Here’s how GreenTrees maximizes your returns to reward you for being a good steward of the environment:

Accelerated Growth

Our unique interplanting method promotes faster forest development and richer habitat biodiversity.

Harvest Income

Landowners receive income from Cottonwood harvests at years 10, 17, and 25, and from Hardwood harvests at years 35, 45, and 55.

Carbon Income

Landowners receive 50% of the carbon and ecological income generated and sold by GreenTrees.

Bending the Carbon Curve

Accelerate carbon and enhance ecosystem resilience with our innovative interplanting approach.

Our proprietary interplanting approach, featuring fast-growing cottonwoods, increases carbon uptake 6 to 8 times faster than a traditional forest over 15 years, bending the S Curve of Growth. By strategically mixing various tree species, we optimize growth rates and carbon sequestration, creating a more resilient and productive ecosystem, accelerating carbon capture, and enhancing soil health, water retention, and overall forest vitality. This ensures long-term sustainability and climate mitigation benefits such as:

A closed tree canopy within four years, giving hardwoods the cover they need to grow faster
Winter bird community differences after seven growing seasons
As much as twice the existing bird population
