Chestnut Carbon is a U.S.-based nature-based carbon removal company that develops and manages afforestation (ARR) and improved forest management (IFM) carbon projects across the United States. The company works with expert foresters, carbon scientists, and land management specialists to restore marginal lands to native forestland and support the long-term conservation of privately owned forests. Its projects generate high-quality carbon credits while delivering co-benefits including biodiversity, water quality improvements, wildlife habitat, and support for rural communities and family forest owners. Chestnut Carbon's mission is to provide scalable, long-term nature-based carbon solutions that help corporations reduce their carbon footprints while restoring and enhancing forest ecosystems. The company distinguishes itself by owning and managing the land it restores, ensuring project permanence, and by working exclusively with at-risk, privately owned U.S. forests for its IFM program. It serves as a long-term partner for both corporate buyers seeking carbon credits and landowners seeking access to the voluntary carbon market. The company has developed proprietary technology including the Chestnut Land Explorer platform and patented carbon measurement devices to deliver accurate and verifiable carbon solutions. Notable milestones include raising $250 million in funding, being recognized among America's top GreenTech companies for two consecutive years, and becoming the first U.S. IFM project verified for biodiversity conservation impacts with the Forest Stewardship Council.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to everything we do. Chestnut Carbon thrives on and celebrates different views, beliefs, and values. We are committed to our talented team and partners, regardless of background or affiliation, and to actively promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our business. We strive to be a place where you can be you and bring yourself to work.
