Carbon Credits
The Michigan Conservation and Climate Initiative (MCCI) is the new joint project between the Delta Institute, the Michigan Association of Conservation Districts and the State of Michigan. The project provides landowners the opportunity to earn greenhouse gas emissions credits when they use conservation tillage, plant grasses or trees or capture methane with manure digesters. Conservation Districts throughout the state will be the Conservation Gateway for this project, providing landowners with project and enrollment information and verification services.
Project information is available through your local Conservation District and at www.michiganclimate.org
