KCC further notes: "There are plenty of resources you can find on the web to help navigate the many climate-saving benefits within these programs. But with multiple initiatives and deadlines, it can be intimidating to find the right ones to suit your needs. We particularly like this spreadsheet:

You can read the KCC Blog at https://kyconservation.org/blog NOTE on using the spreadsheet: It opens with an About the Spreadsheet page. Use the down arrow in the upper left corner to switch to the 2 data pages. You can scroll down to forestry related items.
