As a registered environmental charity, Greenfleet exists to make a difference, not a profit.
We encourage organisations and individuals to Avoid and Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and then Offset any remaining emissions by planting native forests.
Our forests take carbon from the atmosphere to tackle climate change, but they also do much more. We plant a variety of native trees in permanent forests that help to reduce salinity and soil erosion and provide essential habitat for native wildlife.
Biodiversity and climate change
Greenfleet, along with project partner Biolinking Australia, was recently recognised as a finalist for the DSE Biodiversity Award in the 2010 UNAA World Environment Awards.
While we didn't win the award, it was an honour to be named as a finalist - particularly during the UN International Year of Biodiversity - demonstrating that action on climate change can also bring about significant benefits for the Australian landscape.
We've also been named as finalists in the Banksia Awards - Land & Biodiversity category. Winners announced in mid-October.
