2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: No Section Indicated

Comment: And finally, I imagine that it is more profitable to have owners engage their properties for long periods of time and not for several short periods because it reduces the monitoring costs. Who does pay these costs ? And who does the monitoring ?

Proposed Change: No Proposed Change

NCX response: Monitoring costs are kept low by taking advantage of tree cover loss detection through remote sensing. Longer periods of enrollment would yield more credits and more climate benefit, but also represent a higher cost to the landowner since the carbon payments are not meant to replace the total value of a timber harvest.
