Statewide Forest Carbon Inventory and Change Mapping
Accurate inventories are needed to facilitate carbon market entry for forestland owners. An estimated 800 plot-based inventories will be collected from private forestland to expand all-lands lidar forest inventory
$987,000 the first year is from the trust fund to the commissioner of natural resources to work with Minnesota Forest Resources Council, Minnesota Forestry Association, the Board of Water and Soil Resources, and the University of Minnesota to develop a programmatic approach and begin collecting plot-based inventories on private forestland for use with remote sensing data to better assess changing forest conditions and climate mitigation opportunities across all ownerships in the state.
