New England forests are a critical yet underutilized tool in fighting climate change. They store massive amounts of carbon—and each year they sequester more. Despite the work our forests are already doing to keep CO2 out of the atmosphere, they could do substantially more. This 2022 report from Highstead report identifies five distinct but complementary pathways that illustrate how New England forests can do even more to tackle climate change.
