The Country Downs is regenerating 78,615 hectares of native forest in the Dampierland bioregion of Western Australia. The property owners are passionate about managing the land in harmony with environmental and seasonal conditions using a holistic land management approach including repair and regeneration of sensitive ecosystems.

Located on the Dampier Peninsula which falls within the Dampier Botanical District, the property is broadly characterised by an unusual array of vegetation collectively known as pindan. Pindan formation on sand plains is unique to the South-West Kimberley. Threatened species recorded on the property include the bilby.

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.
