TIMBER

Wood for carbon sequestration is harvested from a managed forest such as timberland. The forest is often privately owned, and has been used for timber, pulp for paper, biomass or bioenergy for many years. The sustainability and environmental impact of the forest are generally well established.  Wood can be sustainably removed via thinning, rotation and other schemes. Carbon sequestration re-purposes or adds a new revenue to the original forest management objectives.
