2018 FOREST AND OPEN LANDS STEWARDSHIP PLAN (REMEASUREMENT)

Existing forests have not been given serious consideration in addressing carbon neutrality goals on college and university campuses. At Colgate University, we recognize that carbon storage and annual sequestration is among the many assets provided by Colgate's forested lands. In 2018, we determined that our 1,059 acres of forests contain 193,755 tons of stored carbon while sequestering an additional 3,776 tons of carbon annually.
