Redwood Region Greenhouse Gas Calculator Toolkit
Project Overview
Basics
Redwood Region Greenhouse Gas Calculator Toolkit
- Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
- Develop, Collect and Analyze Data at a Variety of Spatial Scales to Inform Priority Projects/Actions
- Ensure that Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Benefit from Initiatives
- Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation
NCRP RFFC Demonstration Projects R2
Completed
The project will develop a unique, user-friendly greenhouse gas (GHG) benefit calculator toolkit tailored to the North Coast’s redwood region. No similar tool currently exists. The purpose is to facilitate GHG calculations when applying for funding to implement fuel reduction activities within the Partnership boundary. The toolkit’s standardized inventory methodology and analytical tool will streamline the process of GHG calculation and reduce costs to apply for funding. The tool will analyze several fuel reduction activity types based on pre-modeled forest stands and will comply with methodology required for CCI Forest Heath grant applications.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
This toolkit allows end-users to produce rigorous GHG modeling results through a cost-effective process and will empower local communities to
apply for climate resiliency funding for forestlands on the North Coast.
A 2017 beta version of the GHG Calculator Toolkit was developed by John Nickerson of the Climate Action Reserve. The Toolkit will be updated through this project to broaden applicability, expand treatment types
analyzed, and add more report types and graphics for users to better understand proposed treatments. A user manual and at least one training webinar will be completed for use as reference tools.
