Over 25 Years Restoring & Protecting Native Forests 

Greenfleet has planted more than 11.2 million native trees, creating over 550 forests across 11,000 hectares in Australia and New Zealand. 

We have over 25 years of experience establishing and maintaining native biodiverse forests. Our forests protect our climate by absorbing carbon emissions, restoring habitat for wildlife, boosting land productivity, and improving soil and water quality.  

Our speciality Revegetation Team has a strategic, hands-on approach to delivering high quality revegetation projects, and by legally protecting each forest, we ensure the impact we are making is long-term

How We Restore Native Forests 

Greenfleet is committed to establishing resilient, self-sustaining forests which optimise carbon capture to protect our climate while restoring nature. Each project is individually designed to suit landscape, climate and soil conditions.  

We undertake research to select the appropriate mix of native species for the forest, and after conducting site preparation which may include ripping and weed control, we work with professional tree planting contractors to plant or seed our native trees.  

These experts have a thorough understanding of reforestation methods to ensure the success of a project. The two most common ways to revegetate large areas of land are by direct seeding or hand planting.  

We carefully time our revegetation projects taking into consideration conditions including rainfall.

100-Year Protection

Greenfleet takes a long-term approach to climate action. We legally protect each forest we restore for up to 100 years through an on-title agreement, ensuring it cannot be cut down for any reason. 

This protection is vital to ensure that forests can reach their full potential, providing sustainable habitat for native wildlife and delivering key environmental benefits.

Verification & Methodology

Greenfleet measures the carbon uptake at our reforestation projects using the Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM), a model developed by the CSIRO and approved by the Australian Government. This allows us to quantify how much carbon will be removed at each of our projects on behalf of our supporters.  

Our carbon calculations are assured by a Federal Government-accredited carbon auditor, and our work is independently audited by Pitcher Partners.

Ongoing Monitoring

When Greenfleet plants and protects a native forest, it is the first step in ensuring the forest establishes successfully. We have a comprehensive monitoring schedule in place for the first five years of growth and utilise remote and on-the-ground monitoring throughout their lifetime.  

As our forests mature, we conduct biodiversity assessments to measure the impact of our work on local flora and fauna. These assessments include wildlife surveys, flora surveys, acoustic monitoring, soil microbiome and health assessments, nesting box monitoring and more.
