Woodstock Forest Carbon Offsets

Audit Analysis

The Camp Lakota Woodland Preservation Project is a 40-year urban tree preservation credit under the City Forest Credits standard, with a VVB-confirmed barrier additionality test, a quantified 18.3% leakage deduction, and a 10% reversal pool. However, the project-specific baseline lacks a documented reassessment date, no FPIC or grievance mechanism is recorded, and two minor contradictions between the validation and verification reports introduce small reliability concerns. Overall, the project is moderately robust but has documentation gaps typical of a newer, less transparent registry.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Project-specific baseline with no documented reassessment date; the CFC standard's reassessment cadence is not confirmed in the extracted record
• ⚠No FPIC or grievance mechanism documented despite the project being an urban forest in a community setting (Camp Lakota)
• ⚠Contradiction between validation report ('combined' additionality test) and verification report ('barrier' test) on the same date suggests inconsistent internal documentation
• ⚠FNRB method and value not stated in any available document, leaving the forest net removal baseline unverified
