Snowy Reforestation Project

Snowy Reforestation Project is an environmental planting project located in the Snowy Monaro Regional local government area, approximately 25-30km south of Jindabyne in NSW. It was registered in August 2025 and covers 4,483.83ha.

Environmental planting projects involve establishing and maintaining permanent native trees and shrubs to sequester atmospheric carbon. Standard requirements for this project type stipulate a minimum planting density of 200 stems per ha to ensure the site eventually reaches forest cover thresholds of at least 2 metres in height and 20% crown cover.

The Jindabyne and surrounding Snowy Mountains region is historically known for sheep and cattle grazing operations, as well as alpine conservation and forestry. The area is considered to have moderate to high rainfall influenced by the sub-alpine climate. Soils in this tableland region are generally granite-derived podzolic soils mixed with occasional basalt and clay loams.

This project was set up with a strong commitment to local biodiversity; the permanent plantings utilize a specific mix of native tree and shrub species that directly reflect the structure and composition of the local native vegetation community. Additionally, public records indicate that in January 2026, the project's participant name was formally varied from Carbon Projects Co Pty Ltd to Snowy Climate Pty Ltd.
