In 2003, C2I created the ACRE Investment Platform to drive scale and operationalize the ACRE. Being on the forefront of thought, development and operations within both the business and conservation worlds is what sets the ACRE approach apart from other, more unilateral approaches to climate change. Today, ACRE Investment Management operates four companies—Big River, Forest Green, GreenTrees, and Conservation+. By the numbers, the company produces 10 million cuttings per year, has reforested 120,000 acres with 500 private landowners, manages 475,000 acres of timberland and 5 mitigation banks. The ACRE Investment Management Platform creates scale through vision and velocity.
