Cranbrook, WA

This project is located on a working farm adjacent to the Stirling Range National Park, approximately 320 km southeast of Perth. The owners of the property have been farming their land for years and are proactively planting areas at risk of rising water tables to maintain the overall productivity of the land. They are also committed to doing their part to conserve and restore biodiversity.

We are working with Threshold Environmental to restore 65 hectares across the property through Saltland Carbon, Biodiverse Sandalwood, and Biodiverse Carbon planting methodologies. Comprehensive soil testing was undertaken prior to planting and used to develop a tailored plan which aims to reduce salinity, minimise soil erosion and improve the quality of the land. 

The sites were initially planted in 2020 using a combination of direct seeding and hand-planted seedlings. More than 80 different native species were planted, including several Acacia, Allocasuarina, Banksia, Eucalyptus, Hakea, and Melaleuca species. Approximately 500,000 trees and shrubs have been established across the sites. In Autumn 2023, 50kg of sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) seeds were sown throughout the Biodiverse Sandalwood planting area as the host plants are sufficiently established.
