Private Forests Tasmaniaโs Carbon Forestry 101 project is coming to Longford, Brighton and Ulverstone this August and September, for Tasmanian farmers and landowners to learn about all things carbon forestry.
These events will support farmers thinking about the sustainability of their supply chains and explain how carbon forestry projects can demonstrate offsets from emissions generated on their farms.ย
Event attendees will work through the basics of carbon forestry including carbon science, carbon markets, carbon project governance and methodologies including the Plantation Forestry Method and the Environmental and Mallee Plantings Method. They will also receive specially developed resources which focus on simplifying the complex science and unpacking key jargon terms.ย
These events are free but capped at 30 attendees per event.ย
About the Program
Private Forests Tasmania has commenced work on a Carbon Forestry 101 Project which will be rolled out to Tasmanian farmers and landowners across the next three years.
The project aims to build awareness, understanding, confidence and participation among Tasmanian farmers and landowners in carbon forestry opportunities.
The project is driven by the development of communications resources and the delivery of targeted stakeholder engagement opportunities with the aim to:
- Support farmers and landowners in accessing carbon and environmental markets, such as the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) scheme;
- Increase awareness and understanding of the application, compliance and management requirements of forest carbon projects;
- Promote the benefits and risks associated with participating in carbon markets; and
- Collaborate with carbon experts and providers to make available high-quality information and support to all stakeholders.
In the coming months, PFT will share more information about the project and the content and stakeholder engagement opportunities which will become available to support Tasmanian farmers and landowners to learn more about carbon forestry.
