Treedom

The project developer who applies to become a "tree planter" has to make a formal request in the form of the "project". The submission is reviewed to exclude projects that require cutting other trees to make the space, violate the law, consider planting invasive species and the like. The farmer confirms the fact of planting the tree with the help of the specialized mobile application that captures both photo and GPS coordinates. These reports are then manually checked, verifying the location, quality of the image and species of the planted tree. Trees that do not take root for the first three years must be replanted. Treedom claims inspecting in place at least 25% of these projects per year. Additionally, 5% of the planted trees are put aside as so called “Project Reserve” that should cover possible loss of trees and the related {{CO2}} absorption (like trees that die after the third year, for which a substitution is not provided).Treedom standard (project documentation). [https://www-treedom-net.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/docs/treedom_methodology_02_treedom_standard_en.pdf pdf] A user can then order planting a selected tree online, paying as for a web purchase.
