# Restoration Scope for Carbon Projects

Carbon projects, connected from land to field. Bring land acquisition, field operations and monitoring into one place. Restoration Scope connects your records and maps in software configured around the way your project works.

## What can your carbon project team do with Restoration Scope?

Connect the decisions made in the office with the work happening on the ground.

### Bring land acquisition and eligibility into one view.

Review property boundaries, land cover and plantable area alongside landowner records. Move each property through conversations, assessment and contracting with a pipeline configured for your team.

### Connect the field to the people planning the work.

See drone baselines, field photos and survey records in their geographic context. Draw planting areas, coordinate activities and give field teams access to the same property information on mobile.

### Keep monitoring connected to daily operations.

Follow plots, trees and maintenance tasks over time. Bring repeated observations and assigned work into the same system, so your team can review progress and trace the records behind it.

## Which standard are you working toward?

Each standard asks for different field records. Start with the one your project follows.

- [Carbon standards compared](https://restorationscope.com/blog/carbon-standards-for-nature-projects): Verra, Gold Standard, Plan Vivo, ACR, Climate Action Reserve, Isometric and ART: monitoring rules, fees and ICVCM status.
- [Reforestation (ARR) standards](https://restorationscope.com/blog/arr-carbon-standards): Eligible land, measurement, forward credits and commitments across eight standards.
- [REDD+ standards](https://restorationscope.com/blog/redd-plus-carbon-standards): VM0048, ART TREES and the alternatives: who sets the baseline and what you monitor.
- [Improved forest management standards](https://restorationscope.com/blog/ifm-carbon-standards): ACR, VM0045, Climate Action Reserve and more: baselines and forest inventory rules.
- [Blue carbon standards](https://restorationscope.com/blog/blue-carbon-standards): Mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass: soil carbon rules and monitoring.
- [VM0047 field data](https://restorationscope.com/blog/vm0047-arr-field-data): What area-based and census-based ARR projects record for verification.

## Questions from carbon project teams

### Can we start with one part of the project?

Yes. Start with acquisition, field capture or monitoring, then extend the system as the project develops.

### How does the mobile app fit in?

Field teams can work with property maps and capture records on mobile. Records and permissions follow their role and connect to the wider team’s workflows.

### How is the software configured for our project?

We work with your team to define the records, workflow stages, maps, permissions and data connections around your operating process.

### Does Restoration Scope work with Verra, Gold Standard and Plan Vivo projects?

Yes. The standard and its methodology decide what you measure; Restoration Scope holds those records. Your team configures the plots, trees, planting events and monitoring visits your methodology asks for.

### Can we keep a tree-by-tree census for VM0047?

Yes. Each tree can carry its own ID, species, GPS point, photos and monitoring visits, captured offline in the field. Tables export as CSV for your verifier.

### Does Restoration Scope issue or verify carbon credits?

No. Standards issue credits and independent verifiers check them. Restoration Scope keeps the project record they review.
