We aim to build on the proven model of private partnerships and power of collective action. Linked by a common goal and commitment to scale the efforts needed to achieve a path to net-zero emissions, StoneWoods Forest Carbon aims to build resiliency in our businesses, forests, and future through verified carbon removals.
Alberta’s provincial stone, petrified wood, is the fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation commonly found across western Canada. Like petrified wood, the StoneWoods Forest Carbon project represents our commitment to permanence and the legacy Wild + Pine endeavours to create in the habitats we restore. Beginning in 2023, the first phase of Wild + Pine’s StoneWoods Forest Carbon project will aim to restore thousands of acres of Alberta’s sensitive landscapes through afforestation and conservation to develop healthy and vibrant forest ecosystems.
Leveraging a decade of successful habitat restoration, Wild + Pine is aggregating forest restoration project sites across central Alberta to deploy natural climate solutions. Afforestation based carbon removal projects provide partners with high-quality, transparent, and local offsets. These verified offsets act as sustainability assets to leverage against the emissions profiles of participating organizations. The regionally focused project retains long-term permanence and additionality while providing notable regional co-benefits such as biodiversity enhancement, reduction of forest fragmentation, and local economic stimulation.
For organizations that are ready to act on climate change, have identified a need to equip themselves for changes in policy and public perception, and have an interest in restoring the Canadian landscape and supporting the regional/domestic economy.
Designed for small and medium businesses and/or events who have an engaged customer base and an interest in restoring the Canadian Landscape and supporting the regional/domestic economy.
Organizations with a more conservative approach to climate action but recognize the need for high quality verified carbon offsets as part of their future portfolio and have an interest in restoring the Canadian landscape and supporting the regional/domestic economy.
Please reach out to Wild + Pine for further project information and to be included in the upcoming phase of deployment.

The StoneWoods Forest Carbon Project offers a pathway that strengthens environmental, social, and economic sustainability, while serving the business community with secure access to sustainability assets that are critical in today’s shifting economy.
The primary benefit of the project is carbon sequestration from environmental restoration and conservation activities; Forest management that supports a healthy understory and aids in the transition of a forest through its growth cycles, and afforestation that captures carbon in new growth.
With a high level of uncertainty around future carbon markets, domestic and international climate policy, and the global impacts of climate change, it is critical to establish carbon removal projects in the short term. By investing in origination projects like StoneWoods, your organization is securing a role in corporate climate leadership, positioning your firm to achieve future sustainability goals, and equipping your team to engage with the future carbon marketplace.
In addition to the removal of atmospheric carbon, this project will increase the connectivity of Alberta’s vital Central Parkland landscape. This natural region is one of Canada’s most fragmented landscapes, where more than 80% of the natural cover has been converted to cropland and other land-uses. This diverse setting provides habitat for numerous species at risk and is an important wildlife corridor between the boreal and prairies.
In areas traditionally dominated by agriculture and fragmented by oil and gas exploration, this project will serve as an example that builds on our strengths in a transitioning low-carbon economy. With the economic benefits realized through executing projects here in Alberta opposed to overseas, Wild + Pine has aimed the development of the StoneWoods project to build on our strengths of sustainable forest management while stimulating our regional economy.
Traditional land uses and recreational activities, such as hiking, bird watching, and hunting, are woven into the fabric of many Canadian’s lifestyles. By restoring our regional habitats, Wild + Pine hopes to improve the natural landscape where many Canadians can easily access and call home. Restoring the connectivity of wildlife corridors and the diverse forest structure needed for vibrant ecosystems is essential in improving the celebrated traditional use and rich history our province holds.
