Anew - Beaver Falls Forestry Project

Audit Analysis

A 20-year improved forest management project in Ontario, Canada, with strong additionality (combined test, VVB-verified), a 17.28% buffer pool, and a conservative 40% leakage deduction. The first monitoring period delivered roughly 240% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation, indicating conservative crediting. Key weaknesses include a project-specific baseline, absence of documented FPIC, and low extraction confidence across the document set.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠FPIC is recorded as not conducted and no grievance mechanism is stated in the extracted record, which is a notable gap for a forestry project in Ontario where Indigenous land interests may apply.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence across the document set is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and some fields may be incomplete or misread.
• ⚠The baseline is project-specific with a mixed measured-and-modelled approach, offering less robustness than a jurisdictional or standardised baseline.
