Project summary
The Nioka Native Vegetation Project is a $878,500, five-year partnership between the Queensland Government and Greencollar. The project, situated on a 2,000 hectare organic beef farm in the Brigalow Belt, will protect 472 hectares of native vegetation that has historically been cleared for grazing. By retaining vegetation, the project will reduce sediment flowing to the Great Barrier Reef and provide potential habitat for threatened species including glossy black cockatoos and koalas.
