Through photosynthesis, trees suck carbon from the air like a sponge releasing oxygen in the process. They use the carbon as a building block and store it in their trunks, roots and leaves. When the leaves rot, creating soil, the carbon is stored there too.
Planting trees onto cropping areas has the potential to sequester large amounts of carbon, particularly as the soil carbon is starting from a low base.
Help landholders get in as many trees as quickly and effectively as possible. NetZero aims to make it easy for people and businesses to off-set their carbon pollution, essentially slowing climate change.
Trees capture carbon from the atmosphere and lock it up for centuries as wood and soil.
Our initial planting will concentrate on riparian zones, along creeks and rivers, helping water management through wetland and billabong revival around the Wombat Forest which is a temperate rain forest at 700 meters above sea level. Situated in the middle of Victoria, Australia the Wombat Forest is perfect for a rejuvenation initiative. We need such forests to thrive if we are to survive.
We hope to expand quickly, planting thousands of trees. It all depends on your contribution. We have landholders and Landcare groups all over Australia ready to plant your trees.
