25. Balook rainforest planting site higher than expected CO2 capture

Friday, November 13, 2009

Able Plastics was one of the companies involved in the Climate Positive project of planting  a rainforest at Balook in Gippsland.

This planting site included the planting of Mountain Ash. Researchers from the The Australian National University have recently published a report that shows that Victoria's Mountain Ash forests have the potential to hold more carbon than any type of forest in the world.

It is now estimated that this site ( in total ) will be responsible for removing up to 6,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere over the life of the planting.
