Posted on Tuesday, February 3, 2009In an interview in the Christian Science Monitor, USDA Office of Ecosystem Services and Markets head Sally Collins envisions "a new era in which urban industrial emitters of carbon dioxide will partner with private landowners to plant new forests or crops to soak up CO2, or in which revenues generated from a carbon tax will pay for planting trees in federal forests lost to wildfire." NASF representatives met with Collins this week to discuss opportunities to expand ecosystem services markets for forestry in the United States.
