Canadian ranch's 55,000 acres earn first verified grassland carbon credits under national protocol

More than 55,000 acres of native prairie in Alberta have received carbon credit verification for conservation efforts. This property is one of the largest untouched grasslands in North America, and it retains vital carbon stored in the soil. The verification is the result of two decades of discussions involving landowners and conservation organizations. The project generates carbon offset credits by preventing land conversion into cropland.
