Round 2 Case Studies
Lemonade Valley Biodiversity Project
Project Overview:
- Recipient: Lemonade Valley Pty Ltd
- Location: Mount Caroline (Kellerberrin), WA
- Total funding: $397,950
- Project size: 200 hectares
- Estimated ACCUs: 29,164
- Project method: Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings - FullCAM
The Project comprises approximately 130 ha of remnant vegetation and 200 ha of cleared land that will be revegetated with a variety of native trees and bushes to form a continuous covering across 330 ha. The land has been traditionally farmed with cereal cropping and stock production in rotation for close to 100 years and is attached to large patches of native bush amongst granite outcrops, ideal for the reintroduction of native fauna and flora once the entire area is fenced with feral proof fencing.
Apart from the generation of ACCUs, the project has additional goals:
- restore cleared land to native forest and reconnect areas of remnant bush;
- promote diversity in vegetation through the construction of a fence to protect young plants and facilitate feral animal and pest control;
- establish a mix of native flowering trees that can be used for honey production to support the commercial viability of the project;
- improvement soil quality through increased biodiversity and salinity and soil erosion reduction.
