The carbon market is gathering steam as individuals and corporations are voluntarily snatching up carbon credits and northeastern states and California are enacting legislation to regulate carbon emissions.  As owners of carbon gobbling forests, landowners may have the opportunity to incorporate a new income stream into their timberland financial portfolio by selling carbon credits.

One of the most effective tools for managing habitat on wildland property is prescribed fire.  Properly used, fire will create plant diversity and excellent habitat for a wide range of wildlife.  Most prescribed fires are conducted in the dormant season, December to March.  This has been the norm for most land managers because of the ease of burning dryer fuels and cooler temperatures and predictable winds.  But, growing season burns can have a more significant impact on habitat than dormant season burns.  Growing season burns are generally conducted in April to June, and have a greater effectiveness on controlling unwanted hardwoods, and stimulating native grass growth.
