Chestnut Carbon is scaling its nature-based carbon platform with a $210 million project-level credit facility. The company has planted approximately 46.7 million trees across 70,000 acres in the U.S. Southeast since 2022, focusing on afforestation and improved forest management. To address credit quality concerns, the firm is integrating FSC-verified biodiversity outcomes and increasing field verification efforts. These moves aim to reduce verification risk and provide more transparent carbon accounting for institutional buyers in the voluntary carbon market.
