The SEAL Awards has recognized GreenTrees for its restoration efforts in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV) region with the 2023 Environmental Initiative Award. This award acknowledges companies prioritizing sustainability and environmental protection. The award is a testament to GreenTrees’ innovative approach to reforestation and its status as a leading figure in the environmental industry worldwide.
The co-founder and managing partner of GreenTrees, Chandler Van Voorhis, expressed his gratitude for this achievement, saying that the company is deeply honored to receive the SEAL Environmental Initiatives Award. He also emphasized the crucial role that nature plays in correcting, recalibrating, and sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. GreenTrees’ commitment to providing resources to large and small landowners to help them convert their land use to forests, measuring annual biomass growth and converting that growth into carbon credits while generating revenue for them has been critical to its success in the region.
SEAL Awards are an essential part of recognizing and rewarding environmental action. For two decades, GreenTrees has pioneered reforestation in the U.S., working with government agencies and developing public-private partnerships to rekindle the nation’s forests. The only carbon removal program open to all landowners, the company has planted more than 130,000 acres of forests, which have removed over six million metric tons of carbon from the atmosphere, with projected removals of 30 million metric tons from already-existing planted acres over the next four decades.
The prize highlights the company’s recent contribution to the reforestation project in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV), one of the exciting initiatives developed by the company. The project aims to restore the area’s forests and wildlife habitats and incentivize smaller landowners to participate in carbon credit programs. 600+ participating landowners have already successfully replanted 130K+ acres of trees, significantly contributing to removing harmful carbon from the atmosphere.
