Cultivating carbon revenue from trees integrated into your farm
What is silvopasture?
Silvopasture is the smart integration of trees onto pasture land
Improves Soil Quality
Diversifies Farm Income
Boosts Animal Welfare
How do I make money?
The carbon stored in your trees is sold as carbon credits on the voluntary carbon market
Corporations continue to set net-zero emissions goals
To be net-zero, corporations must remove an equal amount of carbon from the atmosphere as they emit
We sell your carbon credits to these corporations, providing your farm a new revenue stream

What our farmers are saying
“At Lick Skillet Farm, carbon sequestration has long been on the sidelines, as a secondary business goal. As our farm begins its fourth intergenerational transfer, we want to bring it to the center. The Southeast is blessed with plentiful sunshine, rain, and arable topsoil - ideal for natural sequestration. With a mixed-species herd and sophisticated grazing management as our primary tools, we believe we can speed the process of sequestration beyond the normal rate.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Working Trees is the first agroforestry carbon project developer in the United States.
We develop sensor technology to measure the carbon stored in trees. We get farmers, ranchers, and landowners paid for the trees on their land. We partner with corporates to quantify the climate impact of trees in their supply chains.We catalyze ecosystem restoration, benefit rural economic livelihoods, andcombat climate change at scale.
Working Trees was incubated at Stanford University in early 2021 as part of Stanford Climate Ventures. Through thousands of conversations with stakeholders from across the landscape, we refined our ideas and built an early version of our technology platform.
With support from mentors, collaborators and advisors at Stanford and Virginia Tech, we have been awarded several grants to launch the first agroforestry carbon project in the US, further build out our product, and gather data from the field.
We are currently in the process of scaling our TreeOps program around the globe and our FarmOps program in the Eastern US.
Our TreeOps program operates around the globe. Current projects exist in Brazil and Tanzania.
Our FarmOps program operates in any US state east of the Great Plains. We have full coverage in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin. We have partial coverage in Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas.
We generate carbon revenue for farmers. We enable corporate partners to scale their climate impact. We produce high-quality carbon credits for buyers. We provide access to carbon markets for forestation organizations. We ensure unprecedented transparency for everyone.
