Pierce Conservation District Reforestation Program 2022
#27of 80 in ARR (afforestation)#209of 345 in United States#56of 59 in City Forest Credits (CFC)
Audit Analysis
A young urban reforestation project under the City Forest Credits standard with confirmed additionality, a jurisdictional baseline, and a 5% buffer pool, but a material finding of 25% tree loss from drought and flooding, no quantified leakage treatment, and several key MRV parameters left unstated. The project is in its first six-month monitoring window, so the record is necessarily thin, and the corrective actions (replanting, ongoing monitoring) are appropriate but unproven.
Red Flags
- 25% estimated tree loss since original planting due to drought, heat stress, and gravel/sand deposition from flooding events, as reported in the verification report
- Leakage deduction and justification are entirely absent from the extracted record for a project type where displaced biomass or shifted land use is plausible
- Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) and a grievance mechanism are not documented in any available source
- Leakage not addressed in project documentation
