Wolverton Station

Wolverton Station is a Savanna Fire Management project located on a working cattle station in the Archer River region of central Cape York Peninsula, approximately 53km north of Coen in Far North Queensland. It was registered in December 2014 and covers an expansive 70,240.39 hectares.

The Savanna Fire Management methodology involves the strategic and planned burning of savanna areas during the early dry season. By introducing these controlled, low-intensity burns, the project reduces available fuel loads, which ultimately minimizes the risk, extent, and severity of uncontrollable late dry season wildfires. This shift in fire patterns significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions that would otherwise be released by massive bushfires.

Central Cape York is classified as a high-rainfall region, experiencing intense tropical wet seasons. The local environment is characterized by tropical savanna woodlands, freshwater lagoons, and soils that are generally a mix of clayey sand and lateritic earth. The land is primarily used for cattle grazing; the Jackson family has been breeding Brahman cattle on the property for almost 60 years.

In addition to traditional grazing and carbon farming, Wolverton Station is noted for its boutique off-grid eco-tourism and glamping experiences. The property also plays a strong community role; it is the founding site of "Conquer the Corrugations," a well-known community walk raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention in remote areas. The carbon project itself underwent a method variation in 2017 to update to the 2015 Emissions Abatement determination, and in May 2022, the proponent was officially changed from Country Carbon Pty Ltd to Terra Carbon Pty Limited.
