April 24th, 2023Carbon Farming Program EOIs open to support tree planting on Victorian properties

The Victorian Government is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from experienced tree-growing businesses to help regional landowners plant trees and reduce Victoria’s carbon emissions.

EOIs are open for established plantation/vegetation management businesses to become Registered Project Advisors for the Victorian Carbon Farming Program and help landowners plant trees on their properties.

Registered Project Advisors will be able to apply for sponsorship funding to undertake outreach activities to engage with landowners on the potential benefits of growing trees on farms.

The program’s pilot will run in the North Central Catchment Management Authority Region. The project aims to incentivise rural landowners to establish shelterbelts and woodlots that will bring a range of on-farm benefits and sequester carbon to assist meeting the state’s emissions reduction targets. 

Grants will open up for landowners in July 2023.
