Working Exclusively with North American Landowners

Sky Harvest made a clear choice from the start: to work with landowners classified by USDA as underserved or small-acreage. Today, 100% of our landowners fall into these categories. 


This doesn’t change the physics of carbon. But it does change the resilience of our society—broadening who benefits from climate action.

The Status Quo: Barriers to Entry 

Most carbon projects exclude small family forests and underserved landowners. Barriers include: high upfront costs, large acreage requirements, multi-decade contracts, price uncertainty, complexity, mistrust, and lack of access. 

  

The result? The majority of U.S. forest owners—who collectively represent massive untapped potential—remain on the sidelines. 

  

Sky Harvest: Expanding Access 

We designed our program to remove those barriers: shorter contracts, no upfront costs, flexible payments, transparent pricing, no minimum acreage, and enrollment through trusted local partners. Participation is simple, accessible, and fair. 

  

Why It Matters 

Unlocking this new pool of landowners expands carbon supply while strengthening rural economies. It turns exclusion into inclusion, mistrust into partnership, and barriers into bridges

  

Sky Harvest proves carbon markets don’t have to choose between scale and fairness. With the right design, they can deliver both—ensuring tomorrow’s market wins for landowners, buyers, and the climate alike. 



Whether you’re ready to purchase True Credits or just have a question, we’d love to hear from you.
