Forests can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which can offset negative impacts from human activity.
CarbonTrail can track this information for you. Before you continue, you need to check that your forest meets these criteria:
It was planted in this financial year
It is owned by your organisation
The forest has a minimum area of 1 hectare, the potential to reach a minimum height of 5 metres and a minimum crown cover of 30 per cent.
Do not enter information for forest that you don't own, or was planted historically.
For more information, see Section 11.2 in the Ministry of Environment guidance around forestry calculations:
