Project summary
The Environmental Plantings in the Burnett Catchment Project is a 16-year, $2.63 million collaboration between the Queensland Government and the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation on behalf of an Indigenous landholder. The Project aims to create 160 hectares of environmental plantings on Mimosa Station, located near Gayndah, Queensland. Whilst building on existing land management skills, the project will provide opportunities for capacity building, training and employment in revegetation, monitoring and conservation for the Indigenous landholders of the property, and support the development of transferrable skills enhancing employment opportunities elsewhere.
