AI Summary
This bill aims to protect public and private woodlands and woodlots in the Commonwealth. It requires the Center, a state agency, to undertake a study to measure the amount of carbon sequestered (stored) in these woodlands and woodlots. Within 240 days of completing the study, the Center must develop and implement a comprehensive statewide plan to maintain, enhance, and protect the carbon sequestered in these areas. The Center will also collaborate with the Executive Office of Energy and the Environment to include the estimated annual amount of carbon sequestered in public and private woodlands and woodlots as part of the Commonwealth's climate change goals, renewable energy targets, and carbon emission reduction goals.
