Carbon Forest Services Ltd Founder Ollie Belton joins Dom George to discuss the recent fluctuation of carbon prices and how the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) could impact farmers getting their boots dirty growing trees.
As a member of the ETS Technical Advisory Group, Belton comments on the 'rollercoaster' the forestry industry has faced in recent times. He also touches on the push to encourage the Government to credit those accommodating older native trees on farms, addressing the fact that many landowners are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel with all the uncertainties they are currently facing.
