Wolverton Station

EOP100944

Project Information:

Wolverton Station is a Savanna Fire Management project located in the Archer River region of Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. The project is situated approximately 53km north of the township of Coen and about 11km south of the Archer River Roadhouse. Registered in December 2014, the project area covers a substantial 70,240 hectares of tropical savanna.

The region is defined by a distinct wet and dry season climate, typical of Far North Queensland's high rainfall zone. The landscape supports working cattle operations, specifically Brahman cattle grazing, which is the primary land use of the station alongside a growing eco-tourism venture offering glamping experiences. The terrain generally consists of tropical woodlands and grasslands on soils that range from sandy loams to riverine clays.

This project operates under the Savanna Fire Management methodology. This involves conducting strategic, cool burns during the early dry season (EDS) to reduce the fuel load on the ground. By managing the fuel load early, the project aims to prevent high-intensity, uncontrolled wildfires that typically occur in the late dry season (LDS), thereby reducing the overall greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere.

Wolverton Station is owned and operated by the Jackson family, who have a multi-generational history in the region. Notably, the project proponent changed in 2022 from Country Carbon Pty Ltd to Terra Carbon Pty Limited, a subsidiary associated with the GreenCollar group. The station has diversified its income not only through carbon credits but also by establishing "Wild Wishes," a boutique glamping accommodation that invites tourists to experience station life.
