IF you can find an ex plantation forest for sale, that is an early cycle of 2nd round plantation - then, if it's big enough and meets the defined criteria, a carbon credit contract will repay you approx $180 per hectare (this goes up and down), for a minimum of a 10 year period...again...but one of the ways to help buy some private land.
Rose has been investigating Carbon just now, she knows a guy getting $1700 a hectare and hoping to push it even higher.
The new block we just bought is in very, very poor condition with many acres taken over by bracken and blackberry. Since it's going to take a lot of work to bring it back Rose wants to do soil sampling to see what the carbon levels are currently.
