We're empowering families to convert underused agricultural land into high-impact, carbon-storing forests. By leveraging AFF's afforestation expertise and Funga's innovative soil biodiversity restoration, we're not just planting trees—we're maximizing their growth and climate impact.

Family landowners could be a vital piece of the climate solution puzzle, but often face barriers to accessing carbon markets. We're proud to announce a new collaboration between the American Forest Foundation (AFF) and Funga is closing this gap! www.funga.earth/post/funga-a...

By combining our strengths, we're not only planting trees—we're supercharging their growth and carbon storage. This collaboration demonstrates that climate solutions don't have to compete; they can instead amplify one another to create a bigger positive impact.

The soil microbiome is the bedrock of any healthy forest, and is especially vital when planting new ones. That's why our belowground restoration is a powerful ally for Chestnut Carbon's work in large-scale forest restoration.
