Why Carbon? Workshop
Our region has a long history of Landcare and large-scale revegetation projects and pasture improvement programs. Landcare wants to ensure our members can continue to share in environmental market opportunities. Around 75% of large corporate agribusinesses have a carbon project in their portfolio. We want to raise awareness of similar opportunities for our members and the smaller agribusinesses, and explain what’s involved so you can weigh it up for yourself. Opportunities could include:
- Environmental Plantings for ACCUs
- Soil Carbon methods for ACCUs
- Potential direct investment in our region through off-market mechanisms that contribute to insetting against on-farm emissions.
Some landholders in the Ten Mile Creek and Mountain Creek catchments have had a targeted mailout with a carbon report, but anyone is abble to come along if you are interested in a potetnial soil carbon or environmental plantings project
If you would like to know more, please come along to a workshop at Woomargama Hall on Thursday 26th November from 2:00 to 5:00pm. At the workshop you will:
- Hear about ‘Why Carbon?’ from Holbrook Landcare and experts
- Hear from landholders who has gone through the process of registering an Environmental Planting for Carbon project
- Hear from Renovo Ag – a service provider in the Environmental Planting (EP) space
- Hear from a landholder who has gone through the process of a Soil Carbon project with AgriProve
There is no obligation to take anything further – this is just an opportunity to understand more about the potential income that could be generated and whether it’s worth exploring.
This project is being delivered through the NSW Government’s Low Carbon Landscapes Grant, under the Primary Industries Productivity and Abatement Program (PIPAP).
