Spades Builds Climate Resilience Enterprise with Social Impact
The Californer/10170201

MINNEAPOLIS - Californer -- Spades announces significant expansion with three tree projects in development involving 1,000,000 acres, 100 million trees, and 100 million MT of sequestered carbon, with dozens of projects in its pipeline. Its biotechnology increases tree survival to improve climate resilience, investor returns, and local economic development. Worldwide projects provide returns via carbon offsets, timber, and agroforestry.

"Trees are critical because they are the best way to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Plus, forest density creates climate resilience locally. But, unfortunately, science shows we need one hundred times as many trees grown every year to achieve the needed change," says Raymond Menard, CEO and Founder of Spades.

"There is enough land, know-how, and money, but they struggle to connect effectively. Spades helps join investors and projects to scale-up forests that survive. Survival is a game-changer that sets us apart. When trees win, so do people, the environment, and economics."
