Reforestation & restoration carbon offsets

Reforestation and afforestation (ARR) credits plant and restore forest, removing CO₂ from the air as the trees grow — a nature-based removal, distinct from protecting forest that already stands.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Reforestation & restoration, answered.

Is reforestation a removal or an avoidance offset?

It is a removal: new trees physically draw CO₂ out of the atmosphere as they grow, unlike forest protection (REDD+), which avoids emissions from clearing.

How much do reforestation offsets cost?

Reforestation offsets are $32 per tonne, fixed, at BuyCarbonOffsets.org.
