Evercreech Plantation Forestry

Located in the Tyne Valley region of Tasmania, this forestry management project aims to capture and store greenhouse gases through delayed harvesting of plantation timber. It aims to capture and store greenhouse gases by converting an existing short rotation forest to one that utilises longer term harvesting times.

By making this change, it allows the trees to continue absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in their wood, branches, leaves, and roots. This process, known as carbon sequestration, helps to mitigate the impacts of climate change by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
