AA2025R_SouthEastL_S1S2

AA2025R_SouthEastL_S1S2 is a Plantation Forestry project located across two distinct areas in Tasmania: the Derwent Valley, approximately 80km northwest of Hobart, and the Glamorgan-Spring Bay region on the east coast, approximately 80km northeast of Hobart. It was registered in June 2025 and initially covered 104.95 ha, with a variation in September 2025 adding new areas to the project boundary.

Plantation forestry projects involve establishing new plantation forests or converting existing short-rotation plantations to long-rotation forests. Standard requirements under the 2022 methodology include planting and managing tree species for commercial timber harvesting, ensuring the plantation increases its stored carbon over an extended rotation compared to baseline scenarios.

The regions surrounding the Derwent Valley and Glamorgan-Spring Bay are known for grazing, agriculture, viticulture, and forestry operations. These areas of Tasmania typically experience moderate to high rainfall, with soils consisting of podzols, clay loams, and dolerite-derived clays.

This project sequesters carbon by establishing a new plantation forest as well as converting an existing short-rotation plantation to a long-rotation system. Other participants in the project include Billie Jones. The proponent, The Trust Company (Australia) Limited acting as trustee for The Tasmanian Carbon Afforestation Sub-Trust, operates the project in affiliation with the 'ActivAcre' program. Managed by SFM Environmental Solutions, ActivAcre works with local landholders to transform underutilised or dormant farmland into reliable revenue streams through forestry.
