The Climate Action Reserve is pleased to announce the release of the Climate Action Reserve Inventory Tool (CARIT). CARIT is a Microsoft Access-based data management tool – developed through a Conservation Innovation Grant awarded by the USDA NRCS – used for inputting, growing, calculating, and reporting forest carbon inventory data. It is a pre-approved, validated tool designed to reduce time, effort, and cost for project development, management, and verification. CARIT allows users to manage a full inventory over the life of the project, can be linked to the USFS Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS), and has several automated functions for annual project reporting. CARIT is free, and is made available to account holders upon request. To receive a copy in advance of the webinar, please send an e-mail request to reserve@climateactionreserve.org.
Join us for this free webinar demonstrating CARIT’s functionality, and answering questions about the tool. This webinar is recommended for forest project proponents, verifiers, foresters, landowners, and anyone else interested in forest carbon projects.
