Finite Carbon Registers Woodland Project Under New IFM Standard
Adam Harrie — April 6, 2026
Finite Carbon registered its 212,806-acre Northeast Carry Woodlands project under the American Carbon Registry's updated IFM v2.1 methodology, a standard that improves the measurement and monitoring of forest carbon baselines. The certification enables Maine forests to produce carbon credits that reflect verified CO2 stored in trees over the long term.
The project is part of a Buck family-managed landscape that spans more than 1 million acres in northern Maine. In addition to carbon storage, it helps maintain local forestry jobs, maple sugar operations and outdoor recreation, while also protecting wetlands, rivers and woodland ecosystems.
North American projects like this demonstrate how responsible land stewardship can provide measurable CO2 storage benefits while ensuring rural communities and natural landscapes thrive.
