Analysis

The … Family Forest Preservation Project (Virginia Beach) is a CFC-standard urban tree preservation credit with a VVB-verified combined additionality test, a 10% reversal buffer pool, and a quantified 18.3% leakage deduction. The main concerns are a project-specific baseline with no stated reassessment date, a material finding of land-ownership transfer to a new HOA, and a discrepancy between the validation and verification reports on the lifetime ex-ante ERR (3,139 vs 3,487 tCO₂e). Overall the project is moderately well-structured but lacks several transparency and claim-safety details typical of larger registries.
