Byron Shire Council is hosting a field trip in Nimbin focused on agroforestry, covering timber production, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity benefits. The event is designed for landowners and community members interested in integrating trees into farming systems for both economic and environmental returns. Participants will visit local properties to see practical examples of how agroforestry can improve soil health, store carbon, and create wildlife corridors. The trip includes discussions on species selection, planting techniques, and potential revenue from carbon credits and timber sales. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn about land management strategies that align with climate goals. Anyone considering farm forestry or carbon farming should find the site visits and expert talks useful for real-world application.
