## About

Founded in 2023 and based in Niigata, Japan, ForestFolks Co., Ltd., d.b.a Forest Folks, specializes in asset management for forests and forestry, digital forest management, and the creation and sale of carbon credits. The company provides forest asset management services and has developed a forest management system named Forester Earth. In April 2026, ForestFolks Co., Ltd. raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from Mitsubishi UFJ Capital, taliki, S Innovations and Spurcle.

The company specializes in the management and maintenance of forestry resources to maximize their environmental functions, particularly carbon dioxide absorption, biodiversity conservation, and water source preservation. The firm’s core offerings include the creation and sale of carbon credits generated from sustainably managed forests, along with support for companies seeking to implement decarbonization strategies. ForestFolks addresses challenges related to deforestation and climate change by transforming neglected forest areas into valuable ecosystems. The company serves a diverse client base, including businesses seeking to offset their carbon emissions, municipalities, and organizations focused on environmental sustainability.

ForestFolks generates revenue through the sale of carbon credits and decarbonization management services, structured around direct transactions with business clients and local governments. These transactions generally involve the purchase of carbon credits by companies looking to offset their emissions, often tied to specific environmental initiatives such as water conservation or biodiversity enhancement.

The company will use the April 2026 funding to advance the Forester Earth system, run pilot projects with local partners, scale community models, and hire key talent.
