Tasmanian Arboretum collecting carbon in blue gum plantings
By Laurissa Smith
If you are a frequent flyer, you probably notice airlines offering an option to offset the carbon used in their flights.
It is a concept that also appealed to the Tasmanian Arboretum in 2008, when it provided members with the chance to offset their travel, by planting five trees.
Those five trees have grown to some 4,000 in the last seven years, on the 66 hectare property of undulating hills and creek flats at Eugenana, near Devonport.
