Our Story

Founder and Chairman, Hunter Parks, first identified the emerging US Carbon Market in the mid 1990’s while investigating programs for his own family land. At that time, he determined the market was not yet robust enough. However, as markets evolved and multiple states began setting emissions reductions targets, Hunter grew more confident about the potential of mitigating climate change through the use of “carbon credits” – a free-market commodity that could be bought, sold and traded within the private sector.

With a genuine passion for conservation and sustainable land management, Hunter was naturally inclined to pursue forest-based carbon offset projects with the purpose of entering the market. With that goal in mind, he began educating himself in all aspects of both the national and international carbon arena and began implementing his first carbon offset project on his own family land. Following the success of that initial project, Hunter knew with certainty that other landowners had much to gain from sharing in his experience. Several years of research, climate conferences and meetings culminated in the formation of Green Assets, Inc. in 2010.

For landowners to fully understand the carbon offset system and its implications it is important to gain insights from a fellow landowner – someone who is familiar with their goals and objectives in addition to the challenges and planning necessary to make long-term decisions that concern their land. Hunter understood that by implementing a carbon project on his own land that he would gain first-hand knowledge and valuable insights regarding the intricacies of project development. This lead to the guiding motto of Green Assets: “Landowners Working with Landowners^®.” This simple phrase sums up the philosophy and guiding directive of our company.

Since that time, Hunter has worked to build a team of professionals with the capacity to address a wide range of conservation projects. With over 80 years of combined experience in land management, conservation and forest carbon project development, the team has a track record of successfully integrating new initiatives with existing landowner goals. They have established themselves as experts managing the dynamic issues of land ownership.
