About the account.
The Dungarvan NaturePlus™ is regenerating 18,284 hectares of native forest in the Mulga Lands bioregion of New South Wales. The property is predominantly made up of soft red soils and hard red soils along with areas of heavy self-mulching grey soil (Cuttaburra Creek) and some areas of lighter grey sodic claypan soils (Kulkyne Creek).
Dungarvan supports a wide variety of native tree and shrub species including Mulga, Ironwood, Bloodwood, Beefwood, Sandalwood, False Sandalwood, Needlewood, Bimble Box, Black Box, Turpentine, Rosewood, Belah, Wilga, Punty, Narrowleaf Hopbush, Whitewood, Supple Jack, Wild Orange, Wild Lemon and Wild Apricot. Dungarvan 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 Kulkyne Creek runs through Dungarvan and is part of the Cuttaburra system which runs out of the Warrego River and the greater Murray Darling Basin. The important wetland areas on Dungarvan are managed under a wetland management plan and support a large variety of native flora and fauna.
The property owners are passionate about sustainable agriculture and landscape management and provide an important mentoring and leadership role within their local community. 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.
