Carbon Footprint Impact
Mike Jani, President, Chief Forester
“The nice thing when you think about carbon sequestration in terms of forest growth that a redwood has to offer, is that it’s such a tremendously long-growing tree. Unlike all other conifers, a Redwood tree can grow for thousands of years and continue to sequester carbon that long and store it in its trunk. Especially when a tree is young, it’s pulling out a lot of carbon in out of the atmosphere and putting it into wood in the form of a tree. And at some point when we decide to harvest that wood, then the carbon that is stored in that wood gets put down as decks or used as siding and it still is stored as carbon in wood products.”
