Introduction:

Welcome! We are excited to explore the full cycle of grassroots tree carbon tracking—from selecting a plot area to translating data into climate advocacy and program design. This holistic model reflects Women’s Earth Alliance’s commitment to both ecological restoration and women’s leadership. You’ll learn how local knowledge, community action, and accessible technology come together to monitor forest health and carbon sequestration. WEA's tree carbon tracking regenerative approach is participatory, iterative, and embedded in real-world impact.

Learning Goals:

• Understand the full process of grassroots tree carbon tracking as outlined by WEA.
• Recognize the key steps: plot selection, restoration activity, advocacy, sampling strategy, data collection, and program tool integration.
• See how participatory methods (like Jotform and Airtable) make carbon data collection accessible and actionable.
• Identify where your work or community might fit into this ecosystem of tools and practices.
• Appreciate how tree tracking connects to advocacy, protection, and storytelling in climate justice movements.
