Josh Parrish is the Director of the American Forest Carbon Initiative (AFCI), which provides forest carbon tools and incentives to forest landowners across the United States, and works to expand the forest carbon credit sales pipeline by building relationships with corporations and other interested purchasers. Through AFCI’s Working Woodlands, Forest Carbon Coops and the Family Forest Carbon Programs, landowners promote sustainable forest management while realizing new revenue streams through forest carbon.  Since 2009, Josh has led the enrollment of over 200,000 acres of forestland across the U.S. including developing Pennsylvania’s first carbon project in 2012. Josh holds a bachelor’s degree in Professional Accountancy from Penn State University.  On the weekends, he enjoys practicing silviculture in his own conserved working forest. Josh is a native of Pennsylvania’s Central Appalachian Mountains and enjoys his time in the woods there with his wife and two young daughters.
