Carbon credits in the making
Gazing out the window this morning at breakfast, I noticed a bit of activity on a hillside down the valley.
Here is a photo from the verandah. Don’t mind the frost-bitten coral tree in the foreground. Look at the bare ridges in the far distance.
Can’t see anything?
Here’s a closer view.
Still can’t see anything? Well neither could I. There was just a faint impression of movement on the ridge. Something yellow.
We happened to have a telescope set up on a tripod so we could look at the water level in the cattle trough. I trained it on the distant ridge and this is what I saw. A digger working its way up the ridge, drilling holes as it went. I took the photo by simply holding the camera up to the eyepiece of the telescope.
Quite a few of the less productive ridges in the area are being planted out to trees. I suppose over time we’ll see those bare ridges turn green.
