In 2019 she launched the “Forest Benefits and Values” program to help build a better understanding of the social and economic value of conserved private forest lands.

Dr. Kreye is also a member of the Society of American Foresters and serves as co-director of the Economic and Policy Working Group.

At Clemson, he worked to develop improve management strategies for controlling Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera), a small invasive tree. He also worked as an industrial forest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where he co-managed 10,000 acres of forest. Calvin got involved in carbon with the launch of carbon market programs in Pennsylvania, as forest landowners approached him with a number of questions about programs and understanding carbon markets.
