Your project. Your profit.

We can guide you to run your own low-cost carbon project.

Our Model

We have developed a do-it-yourself model that delivers more profit to landowners.

Until now, if you wanted to run a carbon project, you’d basically get two choices: sign up with a carbon project developer and see 30-50% of the carbon credits go out the door, or go it alone.

We have developed an ‘in-between’ model where you are actively involved in setting up and running your own carbon project, but with all the resources, guidance and support you need along the way. This common-sense approach values local skills and cuts out unnecessary costs, leaving 95% of the carbon credits in your hands.

Our services are built on the following principles:

No one understands a farm better than the people currently managing it.
Farmers can run their own carbon projects at a fraction of the normal industry cost.
Farmers deserve to retain the lion’s share of carbon credits from their land.
Locking-up huge tracts of good farmland makes no sense.

We offer services across Australia, focused on Soil Carbon, Native Reforestation and Farm Forestry.
