Project summary

The Swartz Carbon Project is a $792,000, 15-year partnership between the Queensland Government and Agriprove. The project will combine soil sequestration with environmental planting to improve the health of soil and native vegetation ecosystems at Calliweera station, near Rockhampton. Increases in soil carbon and groundcover at the project site will aid water retention and reduce runoff and erosion, benefiting the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding ecosystems and wildlife. Environmental plantings will connect remnant native vegetation and improve habitat for over 30 threatened flora and fauna species identified on the property.
