Working with our valued partner, Carbon Neutral, AAMC Training have planted 11,000 trees to date. That’s one tree for every Australian Qualification learner guide sold.
This would not be possible without our valued members, whom we would like to thank sincerely for choosing us as their training provider.
We have over the many years realised that the environment is a vital part to support generations to come. To reduce our carbon footprint, AAMC Training uses recycled products wherever possible, and we are always enhancing our system to improve our online course delivery options.
Planting a tree for every member who completes their course qualification via classroom or correspondence is a way of giving back to our environment.
AAMC Training is not only focused on growing minds, but also growing the environment.
Overview of the project
The Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Project is a unique project – both in scale and as the first Australian project to be certified under the International Gold Standard Foundation.
From a small scale initial biodiverse planting in 2008 the project has expanded into an 11,700-hectare restoration of uneconomic and partly degraded farmland. It aims to create a connected, biodiverse landscape across the mid-west wheatbelt region, offsetting carbon emissions, and supporting the conservation of ecological communities of native flora and fauna.
Carbon Neutral CEO, Ray Wilson, said effective greenhouse gas emission reduction will require large scale reforestation across Australia if we are to achieve the targets set out in our current international commitments.
“Trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere. We’re demonstrating that carbon habitat farming can generate new and diverse revenue streams for Australian farmers with carbon credits being sold to local and international buyers”.
AAMC Training will continue to sponsor Carbon Neutral, as we feel this project is a great way to say thank you to our members for their ongoing support.
This way, not only are we IMPROVING LIVES THROUGH EDUCATION for our members, but also through our support of the environment, which in turn is also an investment in their families’ future.
