An Opportunity to Offset your valuable vegetation

There are a number of reasons landholders would be interested in working with Earthtrade to consider vegetation offsets. These reasons may include:-
Improve environmental values on your property;
Diversification of income;
Another viable option for managing regrowth; and to
Complement an existing property management plan.

You may be a landholder that has regrowth/native vegetation that you wish to protect or allow to return to “remnant” state for a number of reasons including to:
Return land to timber production;
Preserve threatened species or essential habitat;
Control erosion;
Contribute to property plan; and
Enhance the quality of your patch of bush.

Please note the vegetation that you may be considering offering as an offset must:-
Be in the non-remnant “white areas” on the Vegetation Management Maps;
Be at least 2 hectares in size; and
Not be protected by some other means such as a covenant or nature refuge agreement.

Earthtrade is the commercial arm of BMRG Inc and currently provides an offsets brokerage service for landholders and developers. Earthtrade may be able to source a developer who requires the vegetation you have as an offset. This has the potential to provide you with a diversified source of income to protect and manage your vegetation asset into the future.
