Crown Forestry is looking for land to plant as part of the Government’s One Billion Trees programme.
The Crown wants to talk to landowners who have a minimum of 200 plantable hectares of land of reasonable fertility and which has not been a plantation forest previously.
Crown Forestry will lease the land or enter into a forestry joint venture for a 30-year term.
The Crown will pay for all establishment and management costs over the lifetime of the crop and pay a negotiated rent to the landowner.
Rents will reflect the quality of the land, proximity to ports or wood processing plants and the costs Crown
Forestry expect to pay over the lifetime of the crop.
The landowner would retain all rights to any carbon credits.
Any areas of regenerating native forest within the block would remain as unplanted enclaves within the forest.
