Forest restoration creates more than climate impact. It creates lasting community value. As Chestnut expanded across the Southeast US during the 2025-2026 planting season, adding new projects in Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee, we also deepened our investment in the communities that make this work possible.

The Krusiecs have owned their farm in southern Wisconsin for 55 years, steadily restoring and improving the land. As members of Chestnut Forest Carbon Works, they work closely with our team to maintain the health and productivity of the land while ensuring its long-term sustainability for future generations.

We completed our fourth planting season in April, doubling our project footprint in the Southeast U.S. to roughly 70,000 acres of land restored. This was our largest planting operation to date, and one of the largest conducted in the U.S. this year.
