Reclamation - restoring disturbed lands

On Eurardy Reserve, Nanda Country, Western Australia, a project began four years ago to plant one million trees and shrubs.

This winter alone, around a quarter of a million seedlings were planted over a 5-week period. The planter, which has two seats for people to sit on, is pulled by a tractor.

For its size, the project is the first of its kind with such a high level of biodiversity, helping to set a new standard.

“Many carbon projects plant a handful of species, but this one has planted 62 to date,” Fiamma says.

Last summer, Bush Heritage staff, volunteers, and professional collectors from APACE WA Nursery, braved Eurardy’s heat and flies to collect the seed used to raise seedlings in nurseries ready for this year’s planting.
