Biodiverse Carbon Capture

Vegetation clearing for new agricultural land continues to cause environmental degradation, biodiversity loss and increased carbon emissions. But there are also large swathes of land no longer used for agriculture with potential to be remediated.

Scientific research into ecological restoration has traditionally focused on plants and animals. But what about what’s in the soil?

The funding will be directed to our on-ground conservation work in three states.

A webinar with our science staff to discuss the impacts of heat and drought on eucalypts at Nardoo Hills in Victoria and our innovative climate-adjusted revegetation project.

Rather than lose hope when eucalypts started dying in central Victoria, Bush Heritage scientists came up with an innovative solution using future climate scenarios.

As Bush Heritage ecologist Ben Parkhurst, his wife Tina Schroeder and their 10-month-old son Liam look on, the first of over 36,000 native seedlings are planted in the loamy, moist soil as part of the first phase of an ambitious project that will eventually see over 1350 hectares of cleared land on Eurardy restored.

We are working on an innovative climate-ready revegetation project with Greenfleet at one of our flagship Victorian reserves.

At Nardoo Hills Reserve in central Victoria climate change is causing extensive dieback of Grey Box and Yellow Box trees. This project will provide long-term guidance on viable, climate-ready eucalypt revegetation options.
