Wilyun Pools Environmental Plantings Project

Wilyun Pools Environmental Plantings Project is an environmental planting project located near Wellstead, approximately 100km northeast of Albany in Western Australia's Great Southern region. It was registered in July 2024 and covers an area of 119.75 hectares.

Environmental planting projects involve planting native trees or mallee species at a density sufficient to achieve permanent forest cover, which typically requires a stocking density of at least 200 stems per hectare to achieve a minimum 20% crown cover and a height of at least two meters. This specific project focuses on establishing permanent plantings of mixed tree species native to the local area, specifically on land that was predominantly used for agricultural purposes for at least five years prior to the project's commencement.

The Wellstead area is primarily known for broadacre agriculture, including cereal cropping (such as wheat) and sheep grazing. The region experiences a Mediterranean climate with moderate, winter-dominated rainfall. Soils in this coastal and inland agricultural region are typically sandy and gravelly duplex soils, which have historically been improved with added trace elements to support productive farming.

An interesting administrative note regarding this project is that it underwent a participant variation relatively early in its crediting period. While initially involving Carbon Neutral Pty Ltd, the primary proponent role was officially transferred to Jarrah Climate Pty Ltd (acting as Trustee for the Jarrah Climate Trust) on February 20, 2026.
