Our story
CarbonSync™ started in 2007 on a forested property in North Delta, British Columbia, with the quest to grow the greenest Christmas tree. The property was nicknamed the “Major Compound” as it consisted of a 3 acre urban forest oasis. 50% of the habitat had been degraded due to poor water main infrastructure. The site is located on the banks of the Fraser River. The natural productivity of the site and its ability to grow native trees fast led to CarbonSync™.
Unfortunately, a new highway called the South Fraser perimeter road was planned to go through the property. CarbonSync™ was forced to moved, the familly property expropriated. All the trees that we planted in our first carbon credit producing project could be paved over.
As the times change, we adapt. Today, we still ask ourselves how we can grow the greenest tree. We are working to conserve more forests, create and sell more carbon credits, and clean more air.
