Who we are

Sky Harvest exists to create sensible, cost-effective solutions to all who care about mitigating climate impact with precision and integrity.

Sky Harvest creates carbon credits and sells them to corporate customers to offset their emissions. We do so by paying landowners to harvest timber that they otherwise would. We work exclusively with small-acreage and underserved timberland operators in the United States to generate carbon credits. We are a project developer—not a broker, nor a marketplace.

We’re passionate about fixing carbon markets. We’re passionate about sensible, practical solutions to this climate issue. And we have a humble, hard‑working culture intrinsically motivated by the excellence and impact of our work.

More importantly, Sky Harvest has a fresh edge in this space. We voluntarily issue credits under the True Credit framework, which requires fewer credits issued to ensure that each issued credit properly and completely offsets the negative climate impact of emissions elsewhere. To our knowledge we are the only developer issuing credits with multiple tons of carbon in each credit.
