Carbon Sequestration Plantations
If you have approximately 10 hectares (25 acres) of cleared or partially cleared land, then a Carbon Neutral plantation may be for you.
Through revegetation, Carbon Neutral plantations assist with the rehabilitation of degraded land whilst promoting environmental sustainability and conservation. Planting trees also helps to combat salinity, wind and soil erosion and improves water quality and pasture productivity. The trees and shrubs increase the biodiversity of your land, developing wildlife corridors and you will be offsetting carbon emissions through carbon sequestration. There may also be direct financial benefit to you.
Biodiversity Plantations
For smaller scale landholders with space for approx 2 -5 hectares (5 to 10 acres) a biodiversity plantation may suit. Equally for larger land holders who want to enhance
existing plantations with a greater percentage of understory and midstory grasses, herbs, shrubs and trees.
Working in alliance with Feeling to Footprint to promote positive environmental action in every day life a biodiversity plantation will provide numerous environmental benefits to your property whilst assisting to neutralize your carbon footprint

Site Environmental Management Plans
A site environmental management plan, or SEMP for short, is an important document for any land owner wishing to undertake construction work, particularly in the alpine region. An effective SEMP details how each component of a site’s development or use is to be managed and who is responsible for it. A SEMP will generally address issues such as silt and erosion control, vegetation care, materials and waste storage, protective measures and disposal,restoration and rehabilitation on completion of the project.
With many years experience in the property industry in Melbourne and in the alpine regions, we are ideally placed to prepare and implement your SEMP and protect your property interests.
Net Gain Assessments
If you are thinking about removing or are required to remove native vegetation a net gain assessment may be required. Normally specified by local government authorities these assessments follow a three step process with the final objective being a net increase in native vegetation.
Understanding Your Emissions
Working with Carbon Neutral we can provide tools and information for individuals and businesses to easily estimate, reduce and offset the greenhouse gas emissions ie. your carbon footprint of a wide variety of activities along with other ways you can help us help the environment.
