Abstract
What are the emerging opportunities for landholders and examples of how the carbon market can fund native vegetation restoration and conservation projects?
The carbon market provides an opportunity to fund large scale revegetation and conservation projects on private land. Greening Australia has been partnering with landholders over the last 3 years to help them access the carbon market; exploring opportunities to accelerate their farm plans, generate their own carbon credits or secure additional sources of income from planting trees. This presentation explores the successes and lessons learnt to date and future opportunities across our region. Can I get paid to plant trees?
