HR County Forest Carbon Project Hearing Planned For October

Hood River County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on October 16 on the proposed carbon project on the County forest with The Climate Trust.  Commissioners are considering a deal that would see the County commit to essentially maintaining their current harvest practices for the next 40 years while generating an estimated $24 million in revenue from the sale of carbon credits.  Commission Chair Jennifer Euwer says waiting until October will give people a chance to look at the details of the proposal.  A recording of the August 21 worksession on the proposal is available on the Hood River County website.
