Exploring the links: carbon and biodiversity in Victoria's North East Catchment

This pilot project aims to increase and improve biodiverse carbon stores in Victoria's North East Catchment, through:1.Protecting, and enhancing existing native vegetation that has high conservation values for biodiversity and carbon, by establishing 10 year management agreements with landholders;2. Establishing biodiverse carbon plantings to increase the extent of native habitat and carbon storage in fragmented landscapes;3. Build capability of native seed supplies to support the project, and enable future biodiverse carbon plantings;4. Build capacity of private land managers to implement grazing management to protect and enhance carbon stores and biodiversity;5. Manage threats to biodiversity by implementing pest plant management.
