NCGS Agreement Acts
What a landowner, or the implementing partner with the landowner, did about the site agreement, as observed. An agreement record carries one act; the site’s agreement status is derived from its acts (ADR-0019).
Access denied
The landowner denied access to the site or refused contact, without formal notice, while the agreement was in force. Observed by a fieldworker or supervisor. Care not done is not this act.
Access restored
The landowner again gives access and keeps to the agreement, after a spell of non-cooperation. No new signature is needed, since the agreement never ended. Observed by a fieldworker or supervisor.
Agreed verbally
The landowner, site manager or owner agreed to planting by word only. Evidenced by the observer’s note of what was said, with no names, and the person who agreed as an agent in a role; a witness and a photograph are optional (ADR-0030).
Agreement signed
The landowner, the site manager or the owner signed the site agreement, once: on paper (photographed), on screen, or by a recorded consent. Evidenced by the document, signature or recording and its signatory; a site manager may say they signed on the landowner’s behalf (ADR-0030).
Declined
The landowner declined to agree, before signing. Evidenced by a note of the visit.
Formal reinstatement
The agreement was restarted after a withdrawal, by a new signature or under the agreement’s restart provision. Evidenced by the document and its signatory.
Formal withdrawal
The landowner gave formal notice of withdrawal under the agreement. Evidenced by the notice and its signatory.
Request made
The landowner was asked to agree to planting. Evidenced by a note of the visit or letter.
