Using markets to protect and restore ecosystems – and the many services they provide – is gradually becoming a reality. But what are the critical elements for success? What progress has been made? What still needs to be done? What are the remaining challenges?

At this two-day national conference, you will hear from national and regional experts, innovators, and hands-on users of these evolving market models in a dialogue about:
• recent progress
• what transactions can be done now
• how these markets will affect family forests and other land owners
• how state and regional efforts can merge into a common model

Join market designers, regulators, buyers, sellers, investors, NGOs, resource professionals, and other service providers in addressing these and other emerging issues.
