Sustainable timber productionwith carbon benefits

Plantations Method

Plantation carbon projects deliver lasting benefits for land managers and the environment.

Plantation projects deliver high-integrity emission reductions and carbon credit income through sustainable land use.

Complementing environmental plantings, plantations store carbon for decades while producing renewable timber and diversified income streams.

These projects enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and support resilient, productive landscapes, contributing to Australia’s climate goals and sustainable land management for generations.

Key benefits

Key benefits

 

  • Generates carbon credit income alongside sustainable timber production over long‑term forestry rotations.
  • Supports increased biodiversity through well‑managed plantations integrated across working agricultural landscapes.
  • Improves soil health and water retention through permanent ground cover and forestry management.
  • Reduces land‑use conversion risk by enabling continued forestry under regulated carbon project settings.

 

 

Plantation projects offer flexible participation pathways, enabling land managers to adapt existing or new forestry systems to long‑term carbon frameworks aligned with production goals and evolving land‑use strategies.

Eligibility
Find out more about eligibility and what’s involved
Every carbon farming method has specific eligibility criteria and requires some changes to land management to deliver measurable outcomes. These will vary depending on your property, current practices, and the method that best fits.
Eligibility depends on factors such as location, land history, vegetation, and current management practices
Projects typically involve adapting or enhancing existing practices to store carbon or reduce emissions over time
Participation is designed to work alongside your broader land management and business goals
Each method has defined requirements, monitoring, and reporting obligations under regulatory frameworks
Our specialist team will work with you to assess suitability, explain requirements clearly, and guide next steps
You don’t need to work this out alone, we’ll help you understand what’s possible and what’s involved before you commit. For more detailed information, read the full method factsheet: IFLM Factsheet
