Kendall Reservation Woods Forest Carbon Offsets
#65of 345 in United States#31of 59 in City Forest Credits (CFC)
Audit Analysis
The Kendall Reservation Woods project is a 40-year urban tree preservation credit under the CFC standard with a VVB-verified combined additionality test, a 10% buffer pool, and a quantified 18.3% leakage deduction. The main weaknesses are a project-specific (non-jurisdictional) baseline, the absence of an ex-ante lifetime emission estimate for pro-rata verification, and a minor acreage discrepancy noted by the verifier. Overall the project is moderately robust with no material compliance failures.
Red Flags
- Project-specific baseline rather than a jurisdictional or standardised baseline, increasing sensitivity to local land-use assumptions
- No ex-ante lifetime emission estimate found in the extracted record, preventing a pro-rata over/under-delivery check against the 2,082 tCO₂e verified for the first monitoring period
- PDD (Oct 2022) does not address reversal risk, while the verification report (Jan 2023) reports none — a documentation gap in the project design document
