Project Summary
The Wilmot Grazing Soil Carbon Partnership project will register and implement Emission Reduction Fund (ERF) soil carbon projects across 12 NSW grazing properties to deliver over 772,800 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) across 20,700 hectares of land. Central to the project will be innovative software for graziers to plan and implement the practices that will build soil carbon and improve grazing productivity. Landholders will be funded to implement management practice change in line with the soil carbon method, upgrade infrastructure to facilitate these changes and introduce new grazing practices to build soil carbon, including the planning, measurement, and monitoring needed to validate the carbon outcomes. Demonstration sites will showcase how improved grazing practices can deliver both carbon and productivity improvements, and project outcomes will be communicated widely across the grazing sector.
