Project summary
The Lochern Avoided Clearing Land Restoration Fund Project is a 5-year, $2.8 million collaboration between the Queensland Government and GreenCollar. The project aims to protect 1,937 hectares of native vegetation, including state and regionally significant biodiversity corridors, that has historically been cleared. By retaining and regenerating native vegetation, the project aims to improve the condition of threatened ecosystems, and improve landscape connectivity, while strengthening financial resilience for the property’s landholders through diversification of on-farm income.
