Forest protection/reforestation
Forest protection and reforestation not only help AEP to offset greenhouse gas emissions, but also serve as a centerpiece to the company’s commitment to conservation and stewardship.
Efficient forestry and land use practices can significantly offset greenhouse gas emissions. Trees, via photosynthesis, take carbon dioxide out of the air and sequester it in living plant tissue creating a “carbon sink”. AEP is attempting to increase carbon sinks, thus offset greenhouse gas emissions, by planting trees and preserving forests. As a result, the company is involved in the following projects.
