Where climate impact meets commercial forestry Many people enter forestry to help the environment. Commercial forestry is one of the most effective ways to do that. Productive conifer forests capture carbon quickly, store it for decades, and supply the home-grown timber that replaces high-carbon imported materials. More productive planting means more carbon locked up — in forests and in the timber products they become.
