The New Hampshire House Municipal and County Government Committee is debating House Bill 1205, which seeks to ban carbon sequestration projects on state- and county-owned lands. Proponents argue that these lands, primarily in Coos County, were intended for traditional logging and recreation, while opponents, including the Society for the Protection of NH Forests, contest the bill. A legislative study committee is currently reviewing the issue, with findings expected by 2027, amid a moratorium on new carbon programs in the state.
