University and College Land for Carbon
The University and College Land for Carbon is an Environment Agency funded NEIRF project, delivered by the EAUC in partnership with MyCarbon, which aims to facilitate the establishment of woodland areas within higher and further education institutions for carbon credit generation and carbon sequestration. The resources to support universities and colleges were curated with guidance from a dedicated steering group made up of institutions and the Woodland Carbon Code.
