Kloppmyra Project Forest

Kloppmyra is located in Nord-odal right outside of Eidsvoll in Norway, and got its name from a forest mire where boardwalks called "Klopps" connected an old cattle road, making it safe for people to cross the mire.

Agriculture and forestry have dominated the municipality's business life over the years. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Nord-Odal was a mining municipality, it had mines for both copper pyrite and iron ore, and you can still find remains of this in the area. 

The project forest spreads out in a continuous area and includes multiple mires with a high carbon stock and consists of both young and old trees, as well as downfall and dead trees, some still standing and some fallen, ensuring valuable territory for small scale animal life, and is also habitat for large game wildlife as well as multiple species of birds of prey.  There are some basic cabins in the area, and it is a popular recreational retreat for hunters, cross-country skiers and people just wanting to take a break off the grid.

Kloppmyra is classified as “Hogstklasse 5”, with some "Hogstklasse 4", meaning it is planned for imminent harvesting unless the forest can be transferred to Carbon and Nature farming.

Fossagrim and the landowner have agreed and committed to terms for an exclusive contractual agreement, which will secure continued and undisturbed forest growth and natural CCS through CO2 sequestration for a minimum of 30 years. Kloppmyra will serve as a Fossagrim “Habitat Forest”, and we are proud to present this opportunity as a Fossagrim preservation project.
