How long do I have to monitor my project?

Last updated on August 5, 2022

You have to provide data for monitoring throughout the length of the contract, at certain intervals (usually every 5 years, occasionally more frequently if you’ve opted to receive payments more frequently). Read more on monitoring afforestation projects.
