Projects under this method can replant on previously cleared forest and woodland ecosystems with species native to the local area.
When to use this method
The replanting native forest and woodland ecosystems method may be suitable if you:
- have comprehensively cleared land
- would like to increase the biodiversity on your land
- would like to support ecological connectivity
- would like to plant species native to the local area.
To be eligible for this method, your project must be entirely located within specific Australian biogeographic sub-regions, as listed in the method. Visit the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water’s website to view a map of eligible regions.

Legislation
Before you plan or register your project, make sure you read and understand the legislative requirements and the methods.
Stack your biodiversity project with a carbon project
To get carbon and biodiversity benefits from projects on the same area of land, ensure you meet the respective legislative requirements under each scheme before you start planting.
