Forests are a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. As the "lungs of the Earth," they naturally absorb and store vast amounts of carbon, making them a powerful tool to combat the climate crisis. One way to utilize forests for additional carbon storage is to identify underused farmlands and establish new, healthy forests in their place. In theory, carbon markets are perfect for enabling this kind of land conversion, but hard-to-navigate processes and prohibitive u

The climate crisis is bigger than any one solution could ever solve. That’s why collaboration isn’t just an option—it’s essential. In that spirit, we’re excited to announce Chestnut Carbon and Funga are joining forces to accelerate and amplify carbon storage in forests, creating a new model for partnership in the carbon removal space. “Chestnut is blazing a new trail for forest regeneration within the US. Through this partnership Funga can accelerate Chestnut’s impact, while

A transformative milestone towards sustainable forestry becomes a reality as PRT-IFCO , North America’s largest forest seedling provider growing more than 600 million seedlings annually, partners with Funga PBC, a startup restoring forest soil biodiversity one seedling at a time. Beneath the forest floor, the roots of nearly all trees intertwine with vast networks of symbiotic fungi. The presence of these networks, and the alliances they form with tree roots, is central for f
