We help farmers to make their farms beautiful, healthy and resilient.

Our mission is to work with farmers to re-establish native rainforest on unproductive and degraded slopes and creeks that are notionally steeper than 24 degrees or difficult to cultivate.

We believe that agriculture and rainforests can co-exist and are complimentary. We want to see farms with cattle grazing beside scattered rainforests on the hills and in the creeks - a safe place for Wompoo Doves, Gliders, Red Legged Pademelons and so many other species that won't get in the way of farming.

Legacy first approach

24 Degree Forest is unique in the world of carbon sequestration and we understand that quality comes at cost. We design our ACCU and Nature Repair Market projects around your productive agricultural land as a beautiful and rewarding enrichment to your farm. We create vibrant farms that will provide returns even when the ACCU crediting stops in year 25.

Dense plantings provide superior beneifts

We plant densely at 2,500 to 3,200 biodiverse native rainforest species trees per hectare.

Breathe in the benefits

There is so much to gain from a 24 Degree Forest on your farm, we want you to restore nature next to your paddocks and in your creeks, create a safe place for so many unique and vulnerable Australian animals, educate the community, create and share something beautiful. We want to enable farmers to increase their income by optimising their revenue per hectare and replace overgrown and degraded slopes and creeks with rainforest.

Research shows that planting up to 20% of your land increases acricultural productivity. Our grazing pattern data confirms that the grazing potential of slopes and creeks is minimal. Start putting your unproductive slopes and creeks to use to generate income.

This does several things that are very rare in the carbon market:

  1. Canopy establishment within 3 years - This means the plantings suppress weeds, and is fully self propagating within 10 years

  2. We can achieve higher restoration targets - We can achieve Nature Repair Market restoration target level 3 in some cases, meaning the plantings will grow to closely resemble a remnant forest, incuding groundcover, forbs and grasses, understory, midstory and the canopey layer

  3. Dense rainforests outperform other forests in temperature buffering and fire resilience. Temperature monitoring across 7 continents over nearly the last century have shown that the maximum cooling effect during peak temperatures can reach up to 12 degrees (that is it is 12 degrees cooler inside the forest than in an adjacent open area (De Frenne, et all 2019)

Your land will build resilience against drought, flooding and landslides. The forest canopy will remove invasive weeds over time. Create a biodiversity haven for threatened native wildlife. Increase the value of your land and create something beautiful - a legacy for you and future generations.
