"We are very excited about this acquisition as it reinforces Bradco's commitment to the Denver marketplace, following on the heels of our recent opening in Aurora."

SPI Greating Carbon Project

Sierra Pacific Industries, Redding, Ca., the largest private forest owner in Califomia and the second largest lumber producer in the U.S., is creating a carbon sequestration project that will be the biggest of its kind in the nation and will sequester an additional 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide beyond what would have occurred given standard logging practices.

Equator LLC, an asset management firm, has agreed to sell carbon offsets lrom the project to power companies and investors under a capand-trade system that's slated to launch in California in2012.

SPI's announcement came days after the California Air Resources Board adopted updated rules for measuring greenhopse gas benefits associated with forest projects.

A key change was the removal of a provision requiring conservation easements. The new rule would require that a baseline volume of trees-or "live carbon stocks"-be maintained in the project area for 100 years.

"We can harvest timber during this period, but we can never fall below the baseline," said Mark Pawlicki, SPI's director of govemment affairs.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said that projecrs of this kind "will help people around the world reduce the 2OVo of global emissions that come from deforestation."
