The Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme’s Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings 2024 method is now available. This method will help us reach #NetZero emissions by #2050. Clearer and simpler than the 2014 version, which expired in September 2024, and includes: ☘ the ability to start site preparation and planting as soon as you submit your project application ☘the choice to harvest seeds from your project, to support more environmental plantings in your local area ☘the option to do additional planting (infill planting) to support wildlife and promote biodiversity ☘the ability to consider adding nature repair projects once these opportunities become available a relaxation of plant spacing requirements ☘the use of a single Reforestation Management Plan for all management information. Changes that followed community consultation- the Environmental Planting 2024 method enables more projects under the ACCU Scheme to store carbon.
