About the account.

The Sturt Vale is regenerating 27,412 hectares of native forest in the Murray Darling Depression bioregion of South Australia. The landscape of the property is predominantly sandy calcareous and alluvial plains with dunes in the west. The vegetation on the property is predominantly Black Oak (Casuarina pauper), Black Box (Eucalyptus largiflorens), River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), Mulga (Acacia aneura), Spotted Emu bush (Eremophila maculata), Sugarwood (Myoporum montanum), Daisy bush (Olearia pimeleoides), Leafless Cherry (Exocarpus aphyllus), Shrubby Pepper-Cress (Lepidium leptopetalum), Shrubby Twin-Leaf (Zygophyllum aurantiacum), Nitre Bush (Nitraria billardierei) and Cassia (Senna artemisiodes).

The goal 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.
