Agent, not a buyer: the WCC listing does not tick 'sale of carbon units', so you would need a separate buyer. Their own page does not mention Pryor & Rickett by name. Woodland Carbon Code planting is a permanent change of land use to woodland that binds you and later owners, with monitoring and verification for the project life (often 100 years). Units are usually only part-paid at validation (Pending Issuance Units are a promise, not a finished credit) and the rest on verification years later. Converting farmland to woodland can lower its farmland value and change inheritance tax relief: APR covers land in environmental agreements with government or approved bodies, but private carbon deals may not count, and APR/BPR has been capped since April 2026. Get independent land-agent, legal and tax advice before signing. The government Woodland Carbon Guarantee closed in October 2024.
