Anam Talamh
Anam Talamh is situated on Bundjalung Country in the lush and fertile Byron Bay hinterland. Greenfleet is revegetating the property to restore critically endangered Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia, affectionately referred to as the Big Scrub. This project will take climate action and help provide vital habitat for koalas, The Wompoo Fruit Dove and other wildlife in the region.
Situated in coastal northern NSW, Anam Talamh has a subtropical climate that is very effective in growing forests and capturing carbon. By capturing carbon, this forest plays a significant role in fighting the impacts of climate change. Additionally, through this project, Greenfleet aims to restore less productive areas of the property including ephemeral floodplain and help restore the Skinners Creek habitat corridor.
Between 2020 and 2021, Greenfleet planted nearly 73,000 native trees across 50 hectares. Over its lifetime, this forest will sequester around 48,000 tonnes of carbon which approximately equates to what 11,300 average cars emit on our roads each year.
Due to the historic widespread clearing of the Big Scrub rainforest for high value Red Cedar (Toona ciliata) and for agricultural development, only one percent of it remains. Because of this, restoring the region’s biodiversity is vital. Greenfleet has planted 60 different native species on the property including Red Cedar (Toona ciliata), Tallowwood (Eucalyptus microcorys), Forest Red Gum (Eucalyptus tereticornis) and Southern Silky Oak (Grevillea robusta).
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.
