The Batchawana Bay Forest IFM Project, located in Ontario, Canada, is a collection of 60,000 acres of forestland acquired by Astina Forest AG’s forestry division. The Batchawana Bay Forest is located adjacent to several provincial parks, conservation areas, Nature Conservancy lands, and the Crown lands of northern Ontario. Famous for its natural beauty captured in several paintings from the Group of Seven over a century ago, the management of this property under an ACR IFM carbon project will ensure that the property’s natural beauty endures for the next half century. Developing a carbon project on the property introduces new opportunities for Astina to meet their long-term environmental goals through natural climate solutions. Meanwhile, additional revenue from the land allows for economic growth of the local community through sustainable logging practices and the expansion of the largest maple syrup operation in Ontario.
