Measure carbon & biodiversity on a plot — Sacramento, CA

Quantifying carbon and species is the MRV that makes restoration count. Standard: SDG 13 (Climate Action) — restoration plots, carbon & biodiversity monitoring. Proof: labeled readings + photos + GPS Method (SDG 13 (Climate Action) — restoration plots, carbon & biodiversity monitoring.): 1. Establish the plot boundary + baseline. 2. Do the restoration/monitoring pass. 3. Record measurements (survival, growth, cover). 4. Photograph and log the data with GPS. Done when: labeled readings + photos + GPS

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

labeled readings + photos + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–180 minutes. Method of record: SDG 13 (climate action) — installed or restored measures documented so the carbon claim rests on evidence, not intent

Bring

• camera + phone with GPS
• tape measure
• product labels or spec sheets
• install instructions
• clipboard or app

Steps

1. Photograph the site BEFORE with GPS on and a legible timestamp; confirm you are inside the posting radius.
2. 2. Record the pre-existing condition with measurements, not adjectives.
3. 3. Install or restore per the manufacturer's or method's own instructions.
4. 4. Photograph the product label and any rating (R-value, SEER, capacity) before it is concealed.
5. 5. Record quantities: area covered, units installed, or plants established.
6. 6. Photograph the completed work from the same position as the before shot.
7. 7. Record model numbers and install date for the proof record.

If it does not match the plan

• Any measure would be concealed before its label is photographed -> photograph first; an unphotographed rating cannot be claimed.
• Manufacturer instructions conflict with the packet -> follow the manufacturer and note the conflict.
• Existing condition is unsafe (damaged wiring, gas smell) -> stop and escalate.
• Quantities cannot be measured -> record what was measurable and say what was not.

What counts as done

• Before and after photos from the same position, GPS inside the posting radius, timestamps legible
• Pre-existing condition recorded with measurements
• Product label and rating photographed before concealment
• Quantities recorded as numbers
• Model numbers and install date in the record

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
