“Tomora” at Canna: 3 year old bio-diverse mixed species showing acacia varieties in foreground. 2700 hectares planted 2008.
Auscarbon establishes bio-diverse carbon sink plantations replicating the landscape that existed prior to European settlement and creating a drought resistant, self-sustaining environment and habitat.
The bio-diversity model involves planting over thirty native, endemic species from “provenance” seed sourced on company and local properties.
Using “provenance” seed aids resistance to disease and drought and mitigates against long term species loss, creating a Kyoto Protocol “Permanence” in sustainable forests .
The model is designed to maximise carbon sequestration from self-sustaining, bio-diverse forests and to provide a conservation habitat for endangered flora and fauna.
