If you're a family forest owner, you're part of a community that manages over 290 million acres across the United States — more than all industrial and public forests combined. You are the backbone of rural economies, stewards of critical wildlife habitat, and guardians of watersheds that supply drinking water to millions. Your decisions shape the health, economy, and culture of rural America for generations to come.
Yet you're operating at a profound disadvantage. Large timber companies have full-time forestry experts with specialized software and direct access to emerging markets for timber, carbon credits, and conservation programs. Meanwhile, you're often left not knowing who you can trust for advice and with limited access to markets that could help your land reach its full potential.
Our founders, Max Nova and Zack Parisa, spent over a decade working with institutional landowners, helping them navigate emerging natural capital markets and evaluate complex trade-offs between timber income, carbon sequestration, and wildlife habitat. We saw firsthand how powerful these tools and market connections could be — and how unfair it was that landowners like you were locked out.
So we built NCX to level the playing field. We give you professional-grade analytics, market opportunities, and expert guidance—helping you manage your land with ease and confidence. Free tools to discover your land's potential. Expert foresters when you're ready to take action. No pressure. No hidden agendas. Just the clarity you need to help your land reach its full potential and build a lasting legacy for your family.
Today, NCX works with tens of thousands of landowners like you across the United States, from 40-acre family parcels to multi-thousand acre properties. We've helped facilitate over $20 million in payments to landowners through timber sales, carbon programs, and conservation opportunities—proving that when you have access to the right tools and expertise, you can unlock real value while stewarding your land for future generations.
