Matching woodland and peatland projects with buyers since 2006
Carbon funding exists in the UK to help support the creation of new woodlands and the restoration of degraded peatlands. Since 2006, Forest Carbon has been helping land managers access this funding.
How we can help you
Our services are tailor-made and transparent to allow a unique approach that suits each project.
If your project is fully validated by the Woodland Carbon Code or Peatland Code, we can guide you on whether to hold or sell your credits and connect you with buyers looking to purchase credits. Just scroll down the page to keep reading.
If you would like to plant a woodland or restore a peatland, and generate income from the carbon credits, you will first have to certify your project through the Woodland Carbon Code or Peatland Code, which we can help with. Find out more about certifying carbon here. Once your credits have been issued, we can help you sell them.
Forest Carbon has also developed an option for land managers who would like to plant a woodland or restore a peatland, and need funding to do so, but who aren’t interested in selling their carbon credits. Find out more about sponsorship here.
Why choose us?
We have an unrivalled track record for developing innovative funding streams for nature-based projects which means we’ll find the best way to fund your project.
We have built up a network of buyers over 2 decades which means we know how to match buyers with projects and have the contacts to do it.
Our longstanding presence in the voluntary carbon market (and our role in developing it) means we have plenty of evidence to prove our skill and dependability.
We get things done efficiently, which means your woodland/peatland and its funding head your way as quickly as possible. Plus, the administrative burden is taken off of your shoulders.

Payment options
The purpose of carbon funding is to enable woodland creation and peatland restoration projects. After nearly 20 years in the market, we know that each project has different funding needs and each land manager has preferences over if, when and how to sell their carbon.
Knowing this, Forest Carbon endeavours to be flexible and work with land managers to overcome financial constraints.
Fixed price
We can sell your carbon at a fixed price, providing certainty and liquidity. However, you risk losing out if carbon pricing increases in the future, which is predicted (but not guaranteed).
Revenue sharing
If you are reticent to sell your carbon at a fixed price when there’s a chance it could be worth more in the future, we have developed an option where we (you and Forest Carbon) share the risk/reward.
This option allows you to secure some up-front funding, with a portion of the eventual value of the unit to be paid once a sale has been secured by Forest Carbon.
Get in touch to discuss which payment option is best for you.
Alternatively, have a look at some example projects which we have helped to certify through a Code, and then sell the carbon for.
"Forest Carbon has been really fundamental in the whole process for us. They've provided us with all of the help, guidance and assistance that we've needed. We'd have been stuck without them, to be honest." - Lewis MacAskill, Assynt Foundation
