Wallal Carbon Farming Project 2

Wallal Carbon Farming Project 2 is a native forest regeneration project located on Wallal Station, approximately 30km south of Charleville in South West Queensland. It was registered in December 2014 and covers an area of 2,062.54 hectares.

The Native Forest from Managed Regrowth methodology allows landholders to earn carbon credits by regenerating native vegetation into a permanent forest on land that was historically cleared for pastoral use. Projects under this method require the cessation of clearing activities, such as mechanical or chemical destruction, and may also involve excluding livestock, altering grazing timing, or managing feral animals to allow the forest to reach a minimum of 20% canopy cover and a height of at least 2 metres.

The Charleville area, located within the Murweh Shire, is characterized by a semi-arid climate with variable, low annual rainfall and is heavily influenced by drought. Typically referred to as "Mulga country," the region features red earth, sandy loam, and clay soils that support native pastures historically used for extensive sheep and cattle grazing operations.

This project achieves its carbon sequestration through assisted regeneration relying on in-situ seed sources, including resilient rootstock and lignotubers that remained after previous comprehensive clearing. Devine Agribusiness Carbon Pty Ltd operates multiple similar carbon farming projects in this area, utilizing the FullCAM software model to track and estimate the carbon stock stored within these actively regenerating forests.
