Why we support this project

The Forest Farm Carbon Project combines regulated, independently verified carbon outcomes with landholder led ecological restoration in north-east NSW, an important biodiversity hotspot. Registered under the ACCU Scheme (ERF183334), the project applies the Plantation Forestry Methodology Determination 2022 to transition an existing plantation to a permanent diverse native forest, where the land was at risk of conversion to non forest use. The project is subject to a 100 year permanence obligation, providing long-term carbon storage and land stewardship. Beyond carbon, the landholders describe themselves as custodians of a 112 hectare sanctuary, actively restoring degraded landscapes through assisted regeneration, weed control and planting. The project is also verified under Accounting for Nature (AU00063) for koala habitat and population, strengthening confidence that biodiversity outcomes are being measured alongside carbon abatement

Who we work with

The Project Proponents—BJ Herington and CA Herington (trustees for The Herington Family Trust)—supporting ACCU Scheme compliance and on‑ground management as the site transitions from plantation forestry to a permanent forest landscape 

 

Carbon Impact

The project has issued 5,834 ACCUs since its first issuance in FY2024/25. 

Environmental and Biodiversity Impact:

Forest Farm is home to a number of threatened species and contains a mosaic of remnant rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest and forested wetland ecosystems alongside plantation stands of Flooded Gum, Blackbutt and Hoop Pine. According to the landholders, restoration at Forest Farm prioritises assisted regeneration, allowing native species to re establish naturally once weed pressure and grazing impacts are removed, with supplementary planting used where degradation is severe. The plantation areas provide existing canopy and wildlife habitat in the short term, while understory and future canopy species development, weed control and planting support a staged transition toward resilient, permanent native forest landscapes. The project contributes to extensive koala habitat restoration, including large scale planting of primary food and habitat trees and collaboration with conservation organisations to establish koala corridors. Biodiversity outcomes are formally tracked through Accounting for Nature (Environmental Account AU00063) for koala habitat and population.

 

SDGs: The project helps to address the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

Where does my money go?

Your purchase goes to the procurement of fully verified and independently audited carbon offset projects. TEM’s operational, due-diligence, risk management and marketing costs are also included in the list price. By purchasing from these projects, you are mobilising capital to support the project’s ongoing operations and benefits, alongside of ensuring measurable emissions reductions and avoidance.

What goes into pricing TEM's offsets on this site?

You may find a difference between the cost of projects listed on this site and the average prices listed on the wholesale carbon market/s. That’s because TEM offers projects where we have gone the extra mile to ensure their integrity and deliver you the end-to-end service that others won’t. Our pricing is fully inclusive of the end-to-end services to ensure integrity, including:

  • The cost to source, deliver and/or procure projects – Sourcing, purchasing and holding carbon units.
  • TEM’s proprietary due diligence and risk management for each project – Put simply, we do the work to limit the chance that you will support a project that doesn’t deliver measurable and long-term carbon abatement.
  • Our retirement process – Following each purchase, every carbon offset purchased on this site can be transparently traced to a retired carbon unit listed on an independent registry.
    What will I receive with my purchase?

    Once we’ve received your payment, we will:

    • Send you content and copy (if available) relating to the projects you’re supporting.
    • Evidence of retirement, which includes the listing on each registry that relates to the offsets you have purchased within a TEM-branded retirement certificate. You will receive an email once your order is placed to confirm retirement copy for your certificate – this details the reason for retirement and is best practice to avoid double counting. The cost for a company-specific retirement certificate = $150 per order. Note: you will need individual retirement for Climate Active and other certification purposes.
    • Keep you updated on new projects as they’re added to TEM Online. Of course-you can choose to opt out of those emails!
