About the account.
The 600-hectare property 'Carrah,' near Calingiri, WA, is managed by Sarah and Geoff Mason. Originally used for sheep grazing and canola production, the property shifted to regenerative farming in 2021, focusing on beef cattle grazing and soil and pasture restoration. Key features include fencing to protect revegetated areas, extensive native plantings, and habitat corridors for wildlife, including endangered Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos. The Masons aim to improve water quality and track long-term changes in native vegetation condition through an Accounting for Nature portfolio. This will guide their land management decisions and potentially open access to new markets by monitoring and reporting changes in the condition of the native vegetation, including restoration and rehabilitation efforts.
