About the account.
The Osterley Downs NaturePlus™ Native Vegetation Restoration Account is associated with 11,186 hectares of protected native forest from the Cobar Peneplain bioregion of New South Wales. The Environmental account will assist in guiding the land managers decision making regarding the management of the vegetation including but not limited to the maintenance of forest cover and restoration of understory species, by providing a measure of the change in condition over time.
The goal of the project is to measure native vegetation condition and quantify change over time for the issuance of Biodiversity credits under the NaturePlus Scheme. A sub-set of the anticipated NaturePlus project land management activities are governed by a pre-existing ACCU Scheme carbon project registered with the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Regulator. Additional management activities will be articulated under the NaturePlus™ Environmental Asset Adaptive Management Strategy.
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.
