Ansfield Reforestation Project

Ansfield Reforestation Project is an environmental planting project located at the "Ansfield" property, approximately 12km south of Wee Waa and 40km west of Narrabri in NSW. It was registered in June 2024 and covers an area of 297.07ha.

Environmental planting projects involve establishing and maintaining permanent plantings of a mix of native tree or mallee species. Standard requirements dictate that the land must have been predominantly used for agricultural purposes for at least five years prior to commencement, with the aim of establishing permanent forest cover using species native to the local area.

The Wee Waa and Narrabri region is famously known as the "Cotton Capital of Australia" and is recognised for its broadacre cropping and cattle grazing operations. The region is generally considered semi-arid with an average annual rainfall of approximately 590mm, and the soils on the property are typically consistent grey cracking clays, which are highly regarded for moisture retention.

This project covers just under half of the broader 649.6ha Ansfield property, which previously operated as a dryland farming and grazing enterprise featuring cattle yards and equipped bores. In late 2024, the proponent's trustee details were updated to Permagen Planting Land 2 Pty Ltd, and in October 2025, the project officially varied its tracking method to the newest 2024 methodology determination to reflect up-to-date carbon farming standards.
