Why plant native trees?
Planting native trees provides a wide range of environmental benefits.
Native trees:
- improve the environmental value of your land
- provide shade, wind breaks and shelterbelts for livestock
- improve soil quality and reduce erosion
- enhance water quality and reduce salinity
- protect our unique biodiversity
- recreate habitat for native wildlife and endangered species
- help fight the impacts of climate change by absorbing carbon emissions
- ensure a greener future for our next generation.
What do I need to know?
From planning to planting, our passionate team has a strategic, hands-on approach to delivering high quality revegetation projects.
If your project is approved to go ahead, Carbon Offsets Australia will undertake the following activities at no cost to you:
- selecting and sourcing native seedlings and seed
- standard site preparation
- planting
- maintaining the forest until it is established
You will maintain full ownership of the land. We just claim the carbon emissions absorbed by the growing forest.
Benefits of Offsetting
Environment
Our projects are addressing the global problem of climate change, mostly due to carbon dioxide levels today are higher than at any point in at least the past 800,000 years. Rising carbon dioxide concentrations, which is a greenhouse gas, is driving global heating, causing the planet to heat up. The degree to which temperatures go up will depend in part on how much more carbon humans release into the atmosphere in the future.
Social
As an Indigenous owned company, we hold a strong philosophy to empower disadvantaged Indigenous people through employment, which is not a handout but instead a hand up. Most unemployed people living in poverty have numerous barriers to gaining employment through the mainstream processes. Whereas working for Carbon Offsets Australia, working on land, with no previous skills necessary and no judgements on previous life mistakes, is an opportunity to offer an easy entry into full-time and sustainable jobs.
Economic
There are so many economic outcomes are that are achieved through our projects.
