Are you considering carbon farming but don’t know where to start? A free forum discussing new opportunities in carbon farming will be held at the Castlemaine Senior Citizens Rooms on Thursday 3 May from 6.00-8.30pm.   

Guest speaker Ben Keogh, Managing Director of Australian Carbon Traders, has been working in carbon farming since 2004 and is based in Castlemaine.  

Ben will discuss topics such as creating carbon credits on farm, participating in the Carbon Farming Initiative and marketing and trading carbon credits.  

Ms Ashley Beven, North Central CMA Regional Landcare Facilitator, said the forum will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about the practicalities and realities of carbon farming, with plenty of time for questions and discussion.  A light meal and refreshments will be provided. 

To secure you place contact the North Central CMA on (03) 5448 7124 or email info@nccma.vic.gov.au, indicating any dietary requirements by Monday 30 April. 

This forum and associated material is supported by funding from the Australian Government’s Carbon Farming Initiative Communications Program and Regional Landcare Facilitator project, which are hosted by the North Central CMA for the North Central region.
