About
Core Mission & Principles
While CTaT remains open to doing all types of forest carbon and related clean energy projects (REDD+, IFM, fuel switch, improved charcoal and improved cookstoves) presently it is focussing its efforts on high impact Afforestation Reforestation (ARR) projects and nature based Carbon Dioxide Removal or CDR that:
- go beyond passive FPIC towards dynamic active partnerships
- facilitate the launch of circular bioeconomies
- create pathways to First Nation reconciliation (BiCRS CDR in particular here)
- facilitate CDR (BiCRS) projects led by Indigenous governments
- have very strong beyond-carbon benefits
- are integrated with and in support of new regenerative agriculture initiatives and biodiversity conservation
- where the permanence of results is based on fair trade in payment for ecosystem services (PES) which are underpinned by important non carbon values
- facilitate full involvement and leadership roles for women
- where the creation of an enabling environment and inclusive government structures is a priority
- where inclusion of marginalized parts of society is an essential ingredient
- are at the dynamic intersection of climate change mitigation and adaptation
Solutions rooted in nature
Meet Our Team
Carbone Terre à Terre (CTaT) combines the formidable talents of two masters of their respective disciplines – international strategic partnership and common-sense project management. Joining them in 2022, an operations manager who combines those specialties.
Tony Harrison

He has administered silviculture projects for the last 41 years and is a registered Project Management Professional. Tony’s strengths are his communication skills, organizational abilities, financial management and adherence to project plans. Tony’s management of Forest Carbon Initiative’s BC-based projects over the past 4 years demonstrates his ability to manage an array of sub-projects, partners, clients and compliance agencies.
John Kendall
COO
John is a Registered Professional Forester specializing in the development and application of climate adaptation protocols related to land use and forestry. The forest-based projects he developed have so far reduced or removed over 3 million TCO2e. Important co-benefits of these projects include improvements in ecosystem function and increased biodiversity, as well as major social benefits such as enhancing Indigenous cultural values and promoting more resilient rural communities by providing sustainable infrastructure.
Sébastien Chénard
CEO of Quebec Sister company, Carbone Terre à Terre
Sébastien leads the planning and execution of our projects. With over 27 years of experience, he previously served as director of innovation at a large agricultural cooperative in Quebec. He brings a deep passion and extensive expertise in regenerative agriculture to our large-scale agroforestry pilot project for afforestation, reforestation, and revegetation, called ARBRE+. This project aims to transform former fields into maple groves rich in biodiversity.
Project Types
In collaboration with farming communities, First Nations, and other stakeholders, we aim to identify nature-based solutions (NbS) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects based on the guiding principles of Carbone Terre à Terre (CTaT).
