Ansfield Reforestation Project

Ansfield Reforestation Project is an environmental planting project located approximately 15 kilometers southwest of the town of Wee Waa in the Narrabri Shire of New South Wales. Registered in June 2024, the project covers a total area of 297.07 hectares.

The project involves establishing permanent plantings of mixed native tree species on land previously used for agriculture, specifically grazing or cropping, for at least five years prior. Operating under the Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings-FullCAM methodology, the project uses the FullCAM model to estimate carbon sequestration. Notably, the project transitioned from the 2014 methodology to the updated 2024 determination in October 2025, ensuring alignment with the latest legislative standards for environmental plantings.

The Wee Waa region is situated on the North West Slopes and Plains, an area characterized by a semi-arid to sub-humid climate with hot summers and an average annual rainfall of approximately 550mm to 600mm. The local landscape is dominated by heavy clay soils, often Vertosols, which are highly fertile and traditionally support extensive cotton and wheat industries. The project is developed by Permagen, an Australian carbon developer established by the founders of Genex Power, which focuses on regenerating marginal agricultural land using institutional capital.
