The Rod Donald Trust supports more permanent native forest as the optimal way to sequester carbon and tackle the ecological crisis and we are working with many other stakeholders who also support this view. We are proud to convene the Banks Peninsula Native Forest Climate Change group locally – an informal inter-agency alliance seeking to improve opportunities for biodiversity and carbon sequestration through native forest restoration on Banks Peninsula. Read about our efforts to change government policy to better support native forest here. Read our latest submission to the Emissions Reduction consultation here.
We are also delighted to now participate in a new coalition pulled together by the Environmental Defence Society to advocate for the same message at a national level.
We’ll be submitting to the Emissions Reduction Plan consultation today and will post our submission shortly.
