Anam Talamh
Anam Talamh is situated in the lush and fertile Byron Bay hinterland. Greenfleet is revegetating the property to restore endangered rainforest species, capture carbon and help provide vital habitat for koalas and other wildlife in the region.
Situated in the subtropics, this property is located in the perfect climate to grow forests. It provides a high carbon yield over a shorter period of time meaning the forest will have an important role to play in taking climate action.
In 2020, Greenfleet planted over 26,000 native trees across 19 hectares. The forest will sequester around 35,000 tonnes of carbon over its lifetime which is what 8,100 average cars emit on our roads each year. We will return in 2021 to continue growing our impact at this site. An Ecological Vegetation Class (EVC) refers to a group of plants native to a particular area. Due to the popularity of cedar wood, the EVC of this region is particularly threatened. Now known as a popular holiday destination, the Byron area was once renowned for its native cedar forests, which were all but entirely cleared in the 1800s.
Because of the historical clearing, reinvigorating the biodiversity of the area is vital. Greenfleet has planted 60 different native species on the property including Red Cedar (Toona ciliata), Tallowwood (Eucalyptus microcorys), River Sheoak (Casuarina cunninghamiana) and Weeping Bottlebrush (Callistemon viminalis).
As this forest grows, it will continue to increase the resilience of the area’s native ecology. Greenfleet’s forest at Anam Talamh is legally protected for 100 years, which means it will provide a wealth of environmental benefits over its lifetime.
