About the account.
The Argyle NaturePlus™ Native Vegetation Restoration project is protecting 5,364 hectares of native forest from deforestation in the Mulga Lands bioregion of New South Wales. The terrain on the property is mostly red sandy loam rising into Rosewood sand hills. Predominant plant species include Alectryon oleifolius, Acacia aneura, Senna artemisioides, Dodonaea and Eremophila species.
Argyle Station overlaps with the Paroo Floodplain & Currawinya Key Biodiversity Area which is one of 333 nature hotspots currently recognised across Australia under the Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas. The property is situated just north of the Nocoleche Nature Reserve which is listed on the Register for the National Estate for the value of its wetlands. Nocoleche Nature Reserve protects a significant area of open woodlands, sandplains and a diverse range of wetland areas, including the floodplain and channels of the Paroo River.
The goal of the project is to measure native vegetation condition and quantify change over time. Land management activities are governed by a carbon project registered with the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Regulator. The establishment of environmental accounts is intended to support ongoing management decisions that may include management of grazing, fire, pests and weeds, forest retention and infrastructure upgrades to encourage maintenance and/or improvement in the condition and extent of native vegetation.
