AA2025R_PentlandL_S3

AA2025R_PentlandL_S3 is a plantation forestry project located in the West Tamar region approximately 30km northwest of Launceston in Tasmania. It was registered in May 2025 and initially covers 29.12ha, though a variation in August 2025 saw additional areas added to the project boundary.

Plantation forestry projects under the 2022 methodology generate carbon credits by establishing new plantations, converting short-rotation plantations to long rotations, or maintaining existing forests. This specific project sequesters carbon by avoiding the conversion of an existing or recently harvested plantation forest to non-forested land, thereby continuing the plantation lifecycle.

The West Tamar area is known for agricultural production, vineyards, and extensive forestry operations. The region experiences a temperate climate with high, reliable rainfall and the soils are generally fertile basalt and clay loams, which provide ideal growing conditions for deep-rooted timber.

The proponent of this project is The Trust Company (Australia) Limited acting as trustee for The Tasmanian Carbon Afforestation Sub-Trust. It is managed on the ground by SFM Environmental Solutions, a prominent Tasmanian-owned natural asset management company that oversees numerous timber estates and carbon projects across Australia.
