Wolverton Station

EOP100944

Project Information:

Wolverton Station is a savanna fire management project located at the Archer River region 53km north of Coen in Queensland. It was registered in December 2014 and covers 70,240.39ha.

Savanna fire management projects involve the strategic and planned burning of savanna areas during the early dry season. This mitigates fuel loads and minimizes the risk of unmanaged, intense late dry season wildfires, consequently reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as methane and nitrous oxide.

The central Cape York area is known for pastoralism, primarily cattle farming, alongside eco-tourism and native conservation. The region is considered a high rainfall savanna environment, and soils generally consist of highly weathered profiles such as clayey sand and laterite.

Interestingly, this project operates on a working property run by the Jackson family, who have bred Brahman cattle there for over 60 years. Beyond carbon farming and agriculture, the station offers boutique glamping and founded "Conquer the Corrugations," an annual community walk aimed at raising awareness for mental health in remote areas. The carbon project originally operated under a 2013 methodology but was updated to the 2015 determination in February 2017. Furthermore, in May 2022, Terra Carbon Pty Limited officially assumed the role of project proponent from Country Carbon Pty Ltd.
