Our Approach
Your guide to navigating a developing market.
AFM has experience in many important areas relating to carbon projects on private forestland. We have designed and performed forest carbon inventories to identify or verify carbon stocking on properties either considering a carbon project or maintaining an existing one. Our Biometrics Team possesses the ability to estimate carbon stocks based on raw or existing inventory data. We have experience in strategic forest planning modeling which can be applied to carbon related management scenarios. AFM recognizes the changing and expanding area of carbon within forest management and investment strategies and therefore is well connected to those companies representing the carbon marketplace.
