Hood River County Commissioners continued discussion of entering into an agreement with The Climate Trust for a carbon project on County forestlands.  The County Forestry Department, County counsel, and The Climate Trust have drafted a carbon development agreement that would follow standards required by the American Carbon Registery.  It could generate an estimated $23 million for the County through carbon credit sales, and commits the County to 40 years of sustainable forest management, much of which the County already practices.  Commissioners said they want to make sure harvest levels remain where they are currently, with Arthur Babitz noting the concept is a good one but it also is a major decision for the County’s fiscal future.  The Commission are planning a worksession to discuss the proposed agreement on August 7 at 3 p.m.  Commissioners would have to hold a public hearing before approving any agreement.
