2022 C+B Planting program

2022 C+B Planting program is an environmental planting project located at the 'Dalness' property in Evandale, approximately 15km southeast of Launceston in Tasmania. Registered in December 2021, the project covers nearly 55 hectares of land in the Northern Midlands region.

The project operates under the Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings methodology, which involves establishing permanent native forests on land previously cleared for agriculture. This specific project is a participant in the Australian Government's Carbon + Biodiversity (C+B) Pilot, a scheme designed to reward farmers for increasing on-farm biodiversity. The planting activity involves a mix of native tree and shrub species intended to create biodiversity corridors that shelter wildlife and improve land condition.

The surrounding Northern Midlands region is a significant agricultural hub characterized by mixed farming. The Dalness property itself is a diverse operation run by the Randall family, known for producing superfine wool, English Longhorn cattle, and wine grapes. The local environment typically experiences moderate rainfall, sitting in a rain shadow relative to the rest of the state, and features soils often consisting of clay or loam, which support the region's intensive grazing and cropping activities.
