  The landowner or landowners providing your offset will receive 60% of the total offset amount in payments to be made over the course of 30 years (the period over which the carbon will be sequestered).  The landowner/s will receive more concentrated payments during the early years, when the reforestation requires the most work, and subsequent payments will be made every five years.

Bosque Sustentable will receive the other 40% of the total.  This money will be directly invested in the reforestation project including personnel, transportation and equipment costs for enrolling landholders in the program, providing technical assistance to landholders for the establishment and management of their plantations, conducting periodic monitoring of the plantations and preparing monitoring reports.  Bosque Sustentable will also use carbon money to finance periodic third-party certifications and verifications, and to cover promotional and administrative costs corresponding to the project.
