Degnan, who has supported ACRE on a contract basis for more than seven years, will lead brand, marketing, communications and public relations strategy across ACRE’s five platforms, including its flagship reforestation program, GreenTrees.

“ACRE has built an extraordinary story grounded in real assets, long-standing landowner relationships and measurable results,” said Degnan. “My priority is to bring greater clarity and visibility to that story—connecting the ACRE brand across its platforms, elevating GreenTrees’ leadership in reforestation and helping the market understand the depth, credibility and scale of the work already underway in nature-based solutions.”

A Model Built for Long-Term Restoration

ACRE was founded in 2003 to address a structural challenge in environmental markets. The costs of originating, verifying and monitoring a restoration project are largely fixed, making participation difficult for small and midsized landowners.

ACRE changes that equation by aggregating individual properties into larger, pooled projects, absorbing development costs and compensating landowners based on enrolled acreage and verified environmental production. This approach gives private landowners access to markets that would otherwise be economically out of reach while creating restoration assets at a scale that buyers and investors can support.
