Carbon Sequestration

Enabling Legislation:

Idaho Code 22-5103, enacted on July 1, 2002, instructed the Idaho Soil Conservation Commission (ISCC) to prepare a report exploring the potential for carbon sequestration on agricultural and private, non-industrial forestlands. In addition, this legislation called for the appointment of a 19-member Carbon Sequestration Advisory Committee to be chaired by ISCC.
