[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 363999, member: 367"] I'm new to this but willing to learn. It appears there are ways to cut out the middle man but the amount of credits have to be established and certified and that's what they do for a hefty commission. Once that process is streamlined like Savage270 mentioned satellite images are being used that whole process will be easier. I suspect a fair amount of land is being bought up by investors with CCs as a driving factor. Pretty simple business decision and the reason why the big keep getting bigger. Plan A = buy land for carbon offset or buy and sell carbon credits to stay in compliance with EPA Plan B = pay for expensive upgrades and or fines for being out of compliance with EPA. I've always been a DIY type so once I get an estimate or two for comparison I'll visit with the state forest service and see who in the area is qualified to do a field visit and a tree count to certify the credits per acre. Sounds like maybe even something our local college with forestry classes could get involved in. [/QUOTE]
