The Paroo Plains NaturePlus™ is regenerating 16,744 hectares of native forest in the Mulga Lands bioregion of New South Wales. Paroo Plains is characterised by slightly undulating plains and red sandy mulga country with clay pans and channel country with vegetation communities primarily made up of mulga and hop bush. Watercourses including the Cuttaburra and Kulkine channels also run through the property.

The most prominent species are Mulga (Acacia aneura), Turpentine (Eremophila sturtii), Punty Bush (Senna artemisiodes), Hop Bush (Dodonaea viscosa), Bloodwood (Corymbia), Ironwood (Acacia excelsa), Bimblebox (Eucalyptus populnea), Beefwood (Grevillea striata), Leopardwood (Flindersia maculosa), Supplejack (Ventilago viminalis), Cypress pine (Callitris spp), along with saltbush and native grass species. Paroo Plains supports several threatened species including brolga, Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo, blue-billed duck and kultarr. Paroo Plains 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 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.
