Carbon Offset Program
College has teamed up with Reforest again to offer you the opportunity to offset your carbon footprint and contribute to tree planting at Cooroy Mountain Wildlife Corridor. When you register for this year’s ASM, you can contribute $15.84 to fully remove your ASM CO₂ emissions or $7.92 to remove half of your ASM CO₂ emissions.
This reforestation site is located in the rural outskirts of the township of Eumundi, on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia.
Kuri’bigil’ba is the name of Cooroy Mountain in the dialect of the Gubbi Gubbi Indigenous people of this area, meaning the place where the “Sun God came down to Dha (Earth)”. The mountain is said to turn yellow once a year, likely due to the flowering of the endemic silky oak tree (Grevillea robusta) which has glorious yellow flowers between September to November.
About Reforest

Cooroy Mountain Wildlife Corridor
This project is restoring an area of grazing land to its original state, a type of subtropical rainforest that is recognised as a critically endangered ecological community in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. The area runs along a tributary creek that connects into the Upper Six-Mile Creek of the Mary River, which influences water quality in the Great Sandy Straight and Southern Great Barrier Reef lagoon.

Approach
The site runs along the creek line and will extend an existing area of riparian vegetation. A range of native species will be planted to restore the land to it’s original rainforest condition. The project will include the collection and propagation of vegetative material from populations of the rare Lenwebbia which show signs of tolerance to the deleterious impacts of myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii).
Once planted, the trees will be regularly maintained until they are established enough to survive on their own.
