About Forest Carbon

Founded in 2006. Employee owned since 2023! Forest Carbon is the UK's leading developer of woodland carbon capture projects audited under the government's Woodland Carbon Code. Working with businesses and land managers since 2006, we have helped fund the planting of over 13 million trees and the restoration of 2000 hectares of degraded peatlands. These projects will remove 3.3 million tonnes of CO2e from the atmosphere, whilst providing a host of important benefits to society including flood mitigation, enhanced biodiversity and increased public access. We have worked on projects ranging from 5 acres to 500, for partners from sole traders to global tech giants like Microsoft. The Woodland Carbon Code was launched by the UK government in July 2011, with the first-ever certification of a carbon woodland achieved by Forest Carbon in November 2011, and the first-ever project re-certification achieved in 2016. We were also the first business to offer UK woodland creation carbon credits via the Markit Environmental Registry in July 2013, and still account for the significant majority of all WCC credits transacted. The Woodland Carbon Code delivers externally verified projects, certified by UKAS-accredited bodies to ISO standards, that offer tangible social and environmental benefits; it is the only standard of its kind in the UK. In 2012 Forest Carbon also developed the UK's first peat carbon project, on behalf of ICAP. In 2017 we became the first developer to certify a project under the recently launched Peatland Code, which we were integral to creating.
