AA2025R_BrownL_S3

AA2025R_BrownL_S3 is a Plantation Forestry project located approximately 25km northeast of Launceston, Tasmania, in the vicinity of the Lisle and Karoola districts. Registered on March 21, 2025, the project encompasses 33.09 hectares of plantation land situated near Brown Mountain, a local geographic feature that likely informs the "BrownL" designation in the project name.

The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative-Plantation Forestry) Methodology Determination 2022. It specifically utilizes the "avoided conversion" activity category. This means the project generates Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by committing to maintain an existing plantation forest that was scheduled or at risk of being converted to non-forested land, such as agricultural pasture, following harvest. By continuing the plantation cycle, the project prevents the release of soil and biomass carbon associated with land clearing.

The region is characterized by a cool temperate climate with reliable high rainfall, making it a prime area for commercial forestry. The local terrain typically features fertile soils, often ferrosols or dermosols, which support the rapid growth of plantation species like Pinus radiata or Eucalyptus nitens. The project is managed by SFM Environmental Solutions on behalf of The Trust Company (Australia) Limited (acting as trustee for The Tasmanian Carbon Afforestation Sub-Trust), indicating it is part of a larger institutional investment portfolio comprising multiple forestry sites. A variation to the project on July 28, 2025, successfully expanded the registered area, maximizing the carbon abatement potential of the estate.
