Wilyun Pools 2022

Wilyun Pools 2022 is a plantation forestry project located approximately 75km northeast of Albany, along the southern coast of Western Australia. It was registered in May 2023 and covers an area of 259.60 hectares.

The project operates under the Plantation Forestry methodology, specifically undertaking the transition of an existing plantation forest to a permanent planting. Rather than establishing new trees, this methodology involves generating carbon credits by taking a commercial plantation and permanently protecting it from harvest. To meet the standard requirements for this activity, the proponent must demonstrate that the existing plantation was at a clear risk of being clear-felled and converted into non-forested land.

The wider Albany area is heavily utilized for mixed agriculture, including sheep and cattle grazing, cropping, and commercial forestry operations. The region experiences a Mediterranean climate characterized by high average annual rainfall of approximately 930mm. Local environmental conditions typically feature sandy loams and lateritic soils which support extensive forest cover.

Notably, the project has undergone multiple variations since its initial registration. Additional land areas were incorporated into the carbon project in both June and September of 2024. Furthermore, in February 2026, the project's proponent officially transitioned from Carbon Neutral Pty Ltd to Jarrah Climate Pty Ltd as Trustee for the Jarrah Climate Trust. The new proponent also manages another nearby initiative, the Wilyun Pools Environmental Plantings Project.
