In April 2010, Finite Carbon Corporation began development for the privately owned Groton Land Company, located in Luray, South Carolina. Finite Carbon Corporation is the forest carbon development company that provides a single-source solution for creating and monetizing carbon credits.  Finite Carbon has submitted an Improved Forest Management project for Groton Land Company for listing under the Climate Action Reserve’s (CAR) updated Forest Project Protocol. Milliken Forestry Company will provide field services for the project.

The project for Groton Land Company involves a 4,700-acre mature forest that is part of the 23,000-acre Groton Plantation, which has a conservation easement. Once registered and approved by CAR, it will be expected to generate more than 500,000 carbon offsets during the next 100 years.

While landowners in California have been eligible to receive carbon offsets for several years, CAR only recently completed a two-year public stakeholder process that enabled other U.S. landowners to participate.
