Speaking with NCX can introduce and educate landowners to a variety of
environmental solutions that can be profitable for both the land and property

Landowner Success Stories

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 * WILL SMITH
   
   Landowner in Chicago | 46 acres enrolled in a Harvest Deferral program
   
   “The NCX platform is easy to use and navigate and allowed me to compare the
   costs and benefits of various programs in plain, easy-to-understand language
   that incorporated the unique attributes of my own property.”
   
   
   Hello, I’m Will Smith. I’m originally from Maine but now reside in Chicago
   with my wife Andrea and our two children, Coren and Preston. Back in the late
   1980s, my parents purchased about 70 acres of forestland in the western Maine
   town of Lovell. This property had been used to produce forest products, such
   as match sticks for the Diamond Match Company, since the 1920s. I purchased a
   46-acre parcel from them in 2012, which includes a natural viewpoint on the
   summit of Stone Hill overlooking the White Mountain National Forest and the
   6,288’ peak of Mount Washington. The property also abuts conservation lands
   managed by the Greater Lovell Land Trust. I invested in building a gravel
   road to access the property as well as a tent platform for camping and
   clearing trails for hiking. The property is currently under a forest
   management plan with a licensed forester.
   
   My forest management plan is structured to promote the recreational and
   aesthetic value of the property during tree growth, while supporting wildlife
   and land conservation. To support these objectives, I began to
   research alternative income streams for the property that did not require an
   immediate harvest. We first attempted to build and rent out a campsite on the
   property, but this proved too difficult since I lived too far away to
   actively maintain and manage the site. I then read a news article about
   carbon offset markets which led me to NCX.
   
   I was particularly interested in natural capital programs designed for small
   property owners like myself, and which would allow me to continue my current
   land management practices. I had assumed that eligibility for most programs
   was only open to properties of 100+ acres, but found that many programs are
   open to properties as small as 40 acres.
   
   I was quickly able to enter my information in the NCX platform and verify my
   property eligibility. The mapping tools were very user-friendly, even for
   locating a smaller backlot like mine. Learning about all the available
   program options was intimidating at first, but I found it easy to find
   answers to most of my questions using the online help features.
   
   After evaluating several proposals, I signed a contract for a harvest
   deferral program. My wife Andrea and I were excited to participate in a
   program that allowed us to play a small part in mitigating carbon emissions,
   while offering a viable revenue stream in place of a traditional harvest. Our
   projected annual revenue will roughly offset our direct costs for property
   taxes and ongoing maintenance. This allows us to enjoy our land with the
   peace of mind that we are fulfilling our forest management plan obligations
   while reinvesting our program revenue to improve forest health, wildlife
   habitat, and recreational opportunities such as hunting and hiking.
   
   NCX was my first experience with natural capital markets and offered a wealth
   of program options and educational opportunities to better prepare me to
   enter into a formal program agreement. The NCX platform is easy to use and
   navigate and allowed me to compare the costs and benefits of various programs
   in plain, easy-to-understand language that incorporated the unique attributes
   of my own property.
   
   I wish more small woodlot owners like me knew about the natural capital
   programs that are available to them. There was so much I didn’t know when I
   first began researching opportunities for my property, and I’m glad I found a
   resource like NCX to help me navigate the marketplace. My parents own an
   adjacent parcel to mine. I plan to help them navigate the NCX marketplace,
   so perhaps they too can benefit from natural capital markets.
   
   For other landowners who are struggling to find the right program for their
   land, remember there is no “one size fits all” solution. Educating yourself
   on program availability, eligibility, revenue potential, and more is key to
   finding success. Take your time, ask clarifying questions, compare offers,
   and consult your trusted forester to find a program most suitable to you. An
   excellent place to start this journey is with NCX.

 * JEF KAHN
   
   Landowner in New York | 80 acres enrolled in a Forest Carbon program
   
   “Working with NCX was more than just about economics and helping with
   property taxes, which of course, is a good thing… This partnership has given
   me a way to stand up against the environmental challenges we’re all facing.”
   
   I am Jef, raised in Queens, NY. After finishing college, the only thing I was
   certain of was that I wanted to live in the country. In the mid-’80s, I found
   an affordable 80 acres of land in somewhat neglected shape, but with a nice
   combination of mountainous forest and rolling pasture. Over the last 40
   years, I’ve added a pond, built a house, and raised a family here. I like to
   think I helped create an integrated, sustainable farm.
   
   My values drive me to be a good custodian of my property, as it has provided
   so much to us. As retirement approaches, I wanted to make more permanent my
   intentions for the property. I know I have little control over what
   eventually happens, but I wanted to do my best to influence the outcome. I
   gave back my division rights to the county (in return for a tax deduction) by
   placing the property in a conservation easement to prevent any future owner
   from subdividing. I was also looking for a more proactive way to preserve the
   forest and ensure best management practices going forward. This is where NCX
   provided an effective solution, an additional layer of protection.
   
   I became aware of NCX through a mailing they sent to property owners in our
   area when they were offering their one-year harvest deferral program. I’ve
   since followed them as a business and was curious to learn more about the new
   Marketplace they’ve created. Their platform was instrumental in helping me
   understand what my land was eligible for and ultimately which program was the
   right fit for me. I’m now enrolled in a longer-term forest carbon program
   with an organization I might not have found otherwise without NCX.
   
   Working with NCX was more than just about economics and helping with property
   taxes, which of course, is a good thing. It’s also a way for me to
   participate in helping with some of the challenges we all are facing. I have
   been impressed with the thoroughness with which NCX has kept me informed and
   how they communicate with the people they work with. The questions I’ve asked
   over the years have been promptly answered. They have provided ample
   information through writings, emails, phone calls, and podcasts, which had
   great value. This partnership has given me a way to stand up against the
   environmental challenges we’re all facing.
   
   Perhaps the lesson I have learned and want to share with other landowners is
   that there are some small ways in which I can affect what may contribute to
   meaningful change, to the benefit of us all. NCX has been an important part
   of helping me achieve my vision for, what is for the time being, my property.
