Farm Forestry

Farm forestry is another form to carbon sequestration activity already being implemented in many parts of the region. In addition carbon sequestration, farm forestry provides a future source of timber. This places less pressure on existing remnant areas of vegetation on roadsides and private land as firewood sources. Farm forestry can also act as a buffer to fragmented vegetation and a way to broaden the appeal of biodiverse plantations on private land.

Regional priorities for farm forestry should be assessed on a site-by-site basis, with other NRM benefits used to prioritise potential sites.
