America’s Forest Carbon Market
NCX connects corporations to the landowners, habitats, and communities they impact through our carbon marketplace. By drawing on our years of precision forest management, we enable net-zero leaders to purchase carbon credits with immediate, verifiable impact and landowners to quantify the full value of their forests.
Our Mission
As the number-one provider of high-quality carbon credits, we aim to connect every American landowner to net-zero leaders.

Impact To Date
Together, landowners who engaged in sustainable forest management and net-zero leaders created the largest forest carbon project in the US.
- 4.6M Acres
- 3,823 Landowners
- 1.13M MTCO₂e expected climate impact
Real Impact in the Communities You Care About
Our 3 Pillars
Our founders spent ten years entrenched in the forest management community, bearing witness to how landowners monetized their forests in a single market: the timber industry. So we took to heart a simple idea: measurements make markets.
With data from forestry, economics, and geography, we built Basemap: the scientific foundation of our carbon exchange. At NCX, we help landowners monetize their forests and carbon-smart companies advance their net-zero goals.
The process is simple. The impact is real.

Democratizing Access Communities
To reach net-zero by 2050, we all have roles to play. At NCX, we invite all US landowners, regardless of parcel size, to enroll in our exchange for free. NCX buyers celebrate their connections with family foresters as part of their commitment to a net-zero future.

Basemap Science
A carbon exchange is only as good as its data, which is why we measure every acre, of every property, every year, for every available value. Our biometricians regularly update Basemap datasets to assess habitat quality and harvest deferral strategies, on properties across the country, with unparalleled precision.
