As Director of Forestry Carbon Markets, Jeremy Manion leads strategic partnerships, demand activities, market leadership, and future horizon planning at Arbor Day Carbon, a wholly-owned venture of the Foundation. Our vision is to accelerate reforestation by investing in people and partnerships. Jeremy has rapidly enhanced the development of existing and new forestry carbon projects, is a trusted resource for corporate sustainability leaders, and serves on many influential carbon market-shaping collaborations.
