Accounting for Nature
We are developing an Environmental Account under the Accounting for Nature® (AfN) Framework
​
The purpose of this Environmental account is to provide regular standardised, scientifically based and reliable information on the condition and trend of relevant environmental assets over time. This outcome enables the tracking and verification of environmental benefits associated with the management activities implemented on the property. The AfN framework is leveraged as a means to achieve this.

Benefits of Accounting for Nature environmental accounts
​
​
AfN offers a number of accredited scientific methodologies for creating and measuring accounting standards for critical natural assets.
We have chosen to register a Natural Capital project with AfN using the koala method.
​
Koalas frequent the property, make good use of the existing flooded gum and hoop pines in the timber plantations.
​
​
The original vegetation transition zones on the property would have been prime koala habitat.
