How It Works for Landowner


The voluntary carbon market is growing fast. Companies are racing to meet 2030 targets, and demand for credible offsets is rising. Yet America’s 450 million acres of family-owned forests remain largely untapped.  

 

Sky Harvest exists to change that.

The Opportunity  

Every acre of forest you manage already removes carbon. Until now, you haven’t been paid for it. Sky Harvest turns that climate benefit into a reliable revenue stream—without selling your land or signing decades-long contracts.  

 

By deferring timber harvest for five years, you earn annual carbon payments while keeping your land healthy and intact. For many landowners, the income is higher than a hunting lease—and it’s additional on top of existing revenue. A 1,000-acre property can generate up to $300,000 over a decade.

What Is a Harvest Deferral?  

A harvest deferral is simple:  

– Don’t cut trees you planned to cut.  

– Wait five years.  

– Get paid annually.  

 

That’s it. No upfront cost. No long-term lock-in. Just steady revenue for storing more carbon.
