About the account.

The Maureenjoy NaturePlus™ is regenerating 12,535 hectares of native forest in the Mulga Lands bioregion of New South Wales. The property owners are passionate about sustainable agriculture and improving the interconnectedness of native vegetation to support wildlife conservation.

The property consists of undulating red loam soils with a couple of stony Mulga ridges and minimal clay pans. Vegetation on the property consists of a mix of Mulga, Iron Wood, Leopardwood, Cyprus Pine, Black Box, Whitewood, Beef Wood, Needle Wood, Bimble Box, Turpentine, Rosewood, Belah, Wilga, Punty and Narrow Leaf Hopbush amongst others. Threatened species recorded on the property include the brolga and pied honeyeater.

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.
