About the account.

The Emaroo NaturePlus™ is regenerating 28,456 hectares of native forest in the Mulga Lands bioregion of New South Wales. The landscape of the property is predominantly flat red sandy soils with a few sand hills running through. The vegetation on the property is predominantly Belah (Casuarina cristata), Rosewood (Alectryon oleifolius), Turpentine (Eremophila sturtii), Budda Bush (Eremophila mitchellii), Hopbush (Dodonea viscosa) with sections of Leopardwood and Eucalypts through the river systems.

Emaroo 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 south 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.
