Bamboo Station

Bamboo Station is a savanna fire management project located on the Cape York Peninsula, approximately 470km north-west of Cairns in Far North Queensland. It was registered in July 2015 and covers 86,027.89 ha.

Savanna fire management projects involve strategic and planned burning of savanna areas during the early dry season. This early intervention is designed to reduce the risk and severity of unmanaged late dry season wildfires, which in turn reduces overall greenhouse gas emissions.

The Cape York area is known primarily for extensive cattle grazing operations. The region is considered a high rainfall zone, and the environment is typically characterized by lateritic and sandy soils that support natural tropical grasses and legumes. The Bamboo Station property itself is watered by numerous spring-fed dams and seasonal creeks.

Interestingly, after 15 years of ownership, Scott Browning listed the cattle and carbon property for sale in 2022 to focus on other business investments. Concurrently, the project proponent on the carbon register was officially transitioned from Country Carbon Pty. Ltd. to S.C. BROWNING PTY. LTD. The project also updated its specific methodology in 2017, moving from the 2013 Savanna Burning determination to the 2015 Savanna Fire Management determination.
