Indigenous reforestation case studies

As part of the Australian Government's commitment to support Indigenous participation in the Carbon Farming Initiative, the Department commissioned case studies looking at the potential costs and benefits in establishing a Carbon Farming Initiative reforestation project on Indigenous land. The case studies sites were selected based on expressions of interest from Indigenous groups.
