A Carbon-Offset Forest Established for the Mohegan Tribe of Uncasville, CT
Sponsored by the Mohegan Tribe to offset CO2 emissions in Connecticut, 100 acres of special forests were planted by Reforest The Tropics in July 2002. The Mohegan forests were established on a pasture to offset the carbon emission of two large fuel cells in the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut. Reforest the Tropics is proud to partner with the Mohegan Tribe to help achieve their carbon-offset objectives.
The Mohegan Forest project includes a renewable 25-year contract with the farmer. The forests will be managed with light periodic thinnings for farm income and for carbon sequestration. By keeping the extractions light but frequent, we can maintain a productive forest that never needs to be completely cut and stores carbon indefinitely.
