• 6% project royalty on voluntary carbon offsets generated across ~18,000 acres of improved forest management practices primarily in Arkansas
• Project ACR 912 is currently in the process of validation and verification, with first carbon offset issuance expected in the second half of 2026

• Project ACR 912 includes 24 landowners of operable commercial forestland
• The project spans across Arkansas and southern Missouri, with the Central Interior Broadleaf Forest Ozark Highlands representing 64% of the project’s area
• Carbon offsets will be generated by committing to improved forest management practices and maintaining forest carbon stocks above the baseline level. The project will allow the forest to grow naturally with significantly limited and/or sustainable harvesting.

PROJECT ACR 912 – MIXED BROADLEAF FORESTS OF THE OZARK HIGHLANDS

Project ACR 912 uses a programmatic development approach to IFM, that allows landowners with smaller tracts of land to combine under one project. Through sustainable forest management, the project will provide significant climate benefits through carbon sequestration from native forests. The Ozark Highlands contain diverse geology, topography, and vegetation, with regional features including spring-fed streams, caves, limestone glades and prairies. Much of the land in this area is primarily used for logging, livestock farming, woodland grazing, recreation, quarrying, and housing, with only 4% of the Ozark Highlights Mixed Forests ecoregion currently protected.
