SelectCarbon have been busy in Cape York recently working on a 2000ha carbon sequestration project. The project will use a combination of forest management practices including the following:

  • Reforestation: Long-term revegetation (forestry) planting with the predominant purpose of carbon sequestration
  • Improved Forest Management: Conservation of forestry ecosystems, conversion of low-productive forest to high-productive forest
  • Sustainable Forestry: Sustainable timber harvest in-parallel to environmental (carbon) outcomes from permanent forest

The property is set to be the first of its kind in the Cape, combining multiple forest management approaches to create a large carbon sink.

The carbon farming initiative helps landholders make the most of marginal areas on their property by turning those areas into carbon sinks. To enquire about a carbon sink on your property, please contact us for a confidential discussion.
