Projects contracted under the Carbon + Biodiversity Pilot will receive biodiversity payments over the course of the project.The planting protocol sets out rules about the location, dimensions, configuration and composition of plantings to ensure projects generate biodiversity benefits. Projects participating in the Carbon + Biodiversity Pilot will also need to comply with the Carbon + Biodiversity planting protocol and reporting requirements.Participants will also need to ensure they satisfy relevant ERF participant obligations, including in relation to measurement, reporting and auditing. Plantings established under the Carbon + Biodiversity PilotВ mustВ be protected and maintained for a minimum of 25 years in accordance with ERF requirements.В Participants will be required to undertake new ERF environmental plantings projects involving reforestation through either planting or direct seeding of native tree and shrub species.The Carbon + Biodiversity Pilot has 5 core elements: If you want to be notified of future developments, let us know via email at Core elements These plantings can also benefit farmers by providingВ shelter for livestock, improvingВ soil moisture and reducingВ erosion.Д®nquiries about the pilot can be directed to You can also call us on 1800 329 055.

Transcript: Agriculture Stewardship Program вЂ“ Carbon + Biodiversity Pilot DOCX Watch this video to find out what the pilot is and how it works. We are working with Professor Andrew Macintosh from the ANU to develop the program. The 2021вЂ“22 Budget also delivers $32.1 million over four years in additional funding. The Carbon + Biodiversity Pilot is part of theВ widerВ $34 million commitment of the Australian Government to biodiversity stewardship on farms. We have developed this pilot with the Australian National University and as part of the Agriculture Stewardship Package. This pilot trials market arrangements for farmers to create new income from plantings that deliver biodiversity and carbon abatement. The pilot documentation is still available for reference here and at Grantconnect.ДЄpplications were submitted through About the programДЄustralian farmers are already building farm resilience by initiating environmental plantings to protect their soils, farm dams and waterways. Applications for the Carbon + Biodiversity Pilot are now closed.
