Making Money From Mallees

A new tool to help land managers assess the value of carbon held by trees on farms and forests is being launched on December 1 by the Department of Food and Agriculture, WA.

Focussing on mallees, the Farm Forestry Toolbox uses the latest growth modelling software backed up by up to date mallee growth research to give the most accurate predictions available on how fast a tree will grow, and what it is worth depending on where you plant it. The Toolbox also includes a range of complementary tools to help manage tree plantings such as a simple GIS mapping option. more»
