The REDD Forests Tasmania Project is located within the Australian Midlands Region in the state of Tasmania. This is one of the most complex bioregions in Tasmania. The region
has a large diversity of native vegetation which is related to climatic gradients operating at a regional and local scale and to variations in altitude, rock types and landforms. However, the region has a history of logging with drier forests. This project site historically was logged for pulpwood and firewood. Additionally, the Midlands region has a significantly lower proportion of public land preserved compared to other Tasmanian
bioregions. The Redd Forests Tasmania Project is a pilot Improved Forestry Management project designed to prove the commercial viability of using the carbon market to generate a viable alternative income to landowners to traditional logging income.
