The Community, Carbon and Conservation Project, aims to empower farmers to rehabilitate marginal land, diversify their incomes and conserve biodiversity through native carbon plantings on their farms. The works focus on sequestering carbon through biodiverse native plantings, with an emphasis on grassroots collaboration. Working with a group of progressive farmers, the project aims to restore 550 hectares (ha) of marginal land through biodiverse carbon plantings with ecological restoration industry leader, Threshold Environmental. The project also encompasses 55km of protective fencing for the largescale restoration sites, delivered by Gillamii and North Stirlings Pallinup Natural Resources (NSPNR), funded by the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.
This project was a collaboration between Threshold Environmental, the Gillamii Centre, North Stirlings Pallinup Natural Resources, Native Carbon and six farming families. This project was supported in part, by funding from Threshold Environmental and the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.
