Moving Forward with Carbon CreditsHigh Bar First Nation, Treelab and Gallaghers will work together to plant new trees on indigenous lands located in the Fraser Canyon/Cariboo region in B.C. for the purpose of carbon sequestration. Jamie Fletcher, a councillor with High Bar First Nation commented “We are looking forward to working with Treelab and Gallaghers to sequester carbon, curb deforestation, reduce forest fires and help generate cleaner air”
Treelab Founder and CEO Brent Tolmie stated: “We are proud to partner with High Bar First Nation and Gallagher to bring the very best carbon sequestration projects to those in the marketplace who value all aspects of sustainability. We are looking forward to developing a series of projects that demonstrate meaningful reductions in GHGs through trust, transparency, and durability.”
These new trees will generate the highest quality offsets and will exceed standards set by verifying bodies. This new forest will be managed using proprietary remote sensing technologies, using a data driven approach to promote and accelerate growth.
The pilot project will take place on 250 acres of High Bar lands, where Treelab will plant over two hundred thousand new trees.
Brent Tolmie continued, “We’re excited to tackle climate issues from all sides, using nature based solutions to sequester carbon, planting more trees in areas impacted by wildfires, and re-defining how forests are managed.Our team leverages traditional indigenous knowledge and proprietary technologies to provide trusted solutions to climate change.”
High Bar has more than 3,700 acres of prime land, where Treelab will support the planting of new trees, work toward building a solar powered seedling growth facility, and support regenerative agriculture practices.
