Islands Trust News Release ~ Input on Proposed Budget

In a new report commissioned by the Islands Trust Fund, UBC researchers found that forests in the Islands Trust area store and sequester more carbon than remaining Coastal Douglas-fir zone forests outside the Trust area. 

The new mapping provides an important communication tool showing that if forests in the Islands Trust area were protected, the Islands Trust area has the capacity to be a major sink for carbon produced in the region.
