'Findley Carbon Project

Findley Carbon Project is a Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems project located approximately 5km southeast of Wynyard and inland from Burnie in North West Tasmania. It was registered in November 2020 and covers 138.83 ha.

Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems projects involve altering land management practices to increase the amount of organic carbon stored in the soil. Under the 2018 methodology determination, this requires proponents to conduct rigorous baseline soil testing and subsequent physical sampling rounds to accurately measure and verify carbon sequestration over the lifetime of the project.

The North West region of Tasmania is highly regarded for its productive agricultural sector, with regional land use predominantly focused on dairy farming, beef cattle grazing, cropping, and commercial forestry. The environment is classified as a high-rainfall area with a cool, temperate climate. The landscape is heavily characterized by rich, fertile red basalt soils (ferrosols) and clay loams, which offer excellent conditions for maintaining soil moisture, deep root growth, and long-term carbon storage.

This project aims to increase carbon in the soil within the agricultural system by re-establishing or rejuvenating the property's pasture through targeted seeding. The project is managed by Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd, which is a highly active project proponent and developer in the Australian soil carbon market.
