Timberlands are a key carbon sink and play a pivotal role in slowing down the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The Trailhead Preserve owners have spent over 2 years establishing the property as a carbon offset project. The carbon project will create opportunities for ongoing sale of carbon offsets in the Voluntary Carbon market, which creates a unique long term land investment opportunity. Trailhead Preserve is a combination of Mississippi River islands that have been developed as forest carbon projects to preserve, restore and enhance the area to a natural forested state. The Carbon Project area consists of three islands within the Mississippi River, including Island 8 (KY), Wolf Island Bar (KY) and Burnham Island (IL). These islands contain a significant amount of forested wetland areas which help purify the river and serve migratory birds/pollinators along the Mississippi Flyway as well as create multiple opportunities for future wetland mitigation projects. The Trailhead Preserve carbon project will maintain timber stocks for at least 40 years and is incentivized to maximize conservation and growth of the forests. Many species of trees exist across the property, with the mature timber areas predominately being silver maple, eastern cottonwood, and green ash. Other species common throughout the property are Hawthorns, Honey Locust, Common Hackberry, Black willow, False Indigo, and Dogwood Species. The Trailhead Preserve Carbon investments consist of two distinct values, the current market value associated with land and the forecasted value associated with present and future carbon credit revenues. Trailhead Preserve operates as a working carbon enterprise, with carbon credit offsets as its major revenue source. Additional revenue is generated from hunting and recreation. Trailhead Preserve supports many other environmental projects including water resource and wetland management, that support critical fish, big game and bird habitat.
