Bourke Shire
Peter is responsible for the management of over 6,500 hectares of established native forest, and is now regenerating and additional 12,000 hectares alongside his livestock, which he rotates on and off the project areas to manage grazing pressure.
Wanaaring
No one goes into farming to ruin the soil but most farmers will admit to sometimes being forced to push their land harder than they would like. For Matt and Valli Sheridan those days are behind them, thanks to the carbon project that now runs alongside their grazing enterprise.
Wanaaring
60km north of Wanaaring, husband and wife duo Mike and Lucy Rosser have been regenerating native forests on Paroo Plains since 2017 – all while running a mixed sheep and cattle business across the same land.
Wanaaring
Approximately 50km north of Wanaaring, Colin and Beryl Leigo run a successful sheep and cattle grazing enterprise on their property, Moorland Downs. The Leigo family have owned Moorland Downs since 1925. Colin took over in 1978 and the Leigo’s now run approximately 600 sheep and 200 cattle across the property.
Cobar
On the flat loamy country typical of the Murray Darling Depression bioregion, Curranyalpa was suffering after historic overgrazing by cattle and feral animals. To rectify some of the damage and return the land to health, the McBrides turned to regeneration of native vegetation as a solution.
Cobar
Berangabah and Yallock, sit on the border of the Cobar Peneplain and the Murray Darling Depression. These properties are run together as a successful sheep and cattle grazing enterprise. Prior to the project commencing in 2015, feral animals and uncontrolled livestock grazing had suppressed native forest and prevented it from regenerating. Six years on, the project has delivered significant benefits for both the environment and the Sinclair’s business.
