Reading guide for implementing partners
You plan the project, find and assess the sites, deliver and plant the trees, and close the project out. Read these four pages first.
- Project registration. You file a project design, a reviewer qualified in the applied methodologies’ knowledge domains who is not its author validates it (check), and the project version is registered (step). The design plans planting only at sites that are cleared and signed, and pairs each targeted indicator with a methodology that serves it (check).
- Site assessment. Each site is recorded and a suitability determination is filed for it (step). The step detail lists every question your fieldworkers will be asked.
- Planting. Trees are planted only where the site’s latest assessment determination is suitable or suitable with conditions (check), and every named condition from the assessment is recorded as met first (check). Trees reach you or a recipient through delivery, against an acknowledgement and a photograph of the stock (check).
- What can be claimed. Decide which trees you will monitor, and to which horizon, before you promise a funder a result. An observation at a horizon the monitoring period does not reach is kept but marked unscheduled (check) and never counted in a rate (definition), and an indicator with an earliest horizon can only be targeted if the plan reaches it (rule 2).
At close-out you file the final report and the project database export as evidence (check), and the conformance statement is issued.
