That's actually how it works (sort of).
A production forest can claim carbon for the first 16 years, then the $$ stop coming in. Harvest at year 25-30 and must replant or pay back the carbon. No ione gets to keep claiming after that first 16 years of $ income.
A carbon farm can claim for 50 years. God knows what's gonna happen in the Wairarapa after a three year drought and a fire starts. Nothing to stop it till it reaches the beehive![]()
