Appalachian Carbon Exchange

We partner with landowners, communities, companies, and public agencies to reinvest in Appalachian land and people. Through natural resource management, restoration, job training and emerging environmental markets, we strengthen rural economies and support a more resilient and thriving region.

We envision a thriving Appalachian region where stewardship of the land supports resilient communities, healthy ecosystems, and a legacy of opportunity for future generations. Since 2022, our programs have provided habitat protection and long-term stewardship of Appalachian landscapes.

As growing urbanization and land conversion trends in the region continue to stress an already fragmented landscape, we use emerging markets to provide a stabilizing influence to the legacy of our regional landscape.

At ACE, we believe that place, integrity, and relationship matter. We honor Appalachian heritage and leverage regional expertise to implement forest management and restoration practices that are not only ecologically sound but also built on trust and transparency.
