Rockford Township Forest Carbon Offsets
#11of 389 in United States#5of 59 in City Forest Credits (CFC)
Audit Analysis
A CFC-standard urban forest preservation project with a verified barrier additionality test, a quantified 18.3% leakage deduction, and a 10% reversal pool. The project is well-documented with no material findings, though the project-specific baseline and several unreported MRV details (FNRB method, usage monitoring) limit confidence in the full MRV chain. The 40-year permanence claim is supported by the buffer pool but remains a long-term risk.
Red Flags
- Project-specific baseline rather than a jurisdictional or standardised reference, limiting comparability and increasing sensitivity to local assumptions
- FNRB method and value not stated in any available document, leaving the forest net regeneration baseline unverified
- Contradiction between the verification report (reversal events 'not addressed') and the validation report ('none reported') creates ambiguity about whether the reversal risk was explicitly evaluated during verification
