otoh, it's possible I might be able to generate credits for soil carbon but it's more likely that any income I can generate from #environmentalmarkets will come from #biodiversity credits out of a stewardship agreement and by inventing activities guests will pay to participate in like bird walks, plant identification workshops, ecology walks, and even occasional feral species (deer) hunting.

I'm involved in a program to help landholders and farmers build #environmentalmarkets for the resources and assets they manage. One of the things that weirds me out most of all is that there doesn't seem to be a way for landholders with forests locking up #carbon (about 35 Ha of our 40 Ha) to create credits for that and lease them for income.
If I wanted to generate carbon credits easily, I'd need to tear out my (endangered remnant) forest and start over with new trees. This seems counterintuitive. I have 40 years of growth on my place with a metric arseload of carbon locked up that's going nowhere.
