2020 grantee ($25,000) Summit Land Conservancy launched a 3-year carbon sequestration pilot project via regenerative agriculture techniques identified by Project Drawdown. The pilot site is located on McPolin Farms – Park City’s well-photographed “White Barn” located on Hwy 224 in Park City. The pilot is a collaboration between Summit Land Conservancy, Bill White Farms, and Park City Municipal which seeks to restore degraded soils and increase this land’s ability to act as a carbon sink. In 2023, project managers will share comparison data for carbon sequestration from pre and post-soil management. The goal is to double the land’s ability to sequester carbon, which will remove approximately an additional 21 metric tons of CO2e annually.
