Anew - Canada Creek Forestry Project
#17of 99 in REDD+#75of 345 in United States#30of 147 in American Carbon Registry (ACR)
Audit Analysis
A Michigan forestry project under ACR with a 20-year crediting period, verified by SCS Global Services. The project demonstrates strong leakage treatment (40% quantified deduction) and an 18% buffer pool, but two non-conformity reports on FVS model parameterization (including a regeneration survival rate error of 1% vs. 100%) raise concerns about the robustness of carbon stock estimates. The project-specific baseline and absence of FPIC or a documented grievance mechanism are moderate safeguard gaps.
Red Flags
- Two non-conformity reports (NCR 5 and NCR 6) identify FVS model parameterization errors, including a regeneration survival rate set at 1% instead of 100%, which could materially distort carbon stock estimates in both the baseline and project scenarios.
- Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) was not conducted, and no grievance mechanism is documented in the available records, leaving a gap in community safeguard protections for a land-based forestry project.
- The baseline is project-specific rather than jurisdictional or standardized, and the timing of the last baseline reassessment is not stated in the extracted documents.
