Applications are now open for the second round of Western Australian Carbon Farming and Land Restoration Program funding.

Applications are now open for the second round of Western Australian Carbon Farming and Land Restoration Program funding.
 
Led by the WA Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), the Program aims to realise WA agriculture’s potential to sequester carbon in the landscape and capture a greater share of the growing carbon farming market.
 
There are two categories of projects in Round 2: general vegetation and/or soil carbon; and a special category for soil carbon projects in low rainfall areas.
 
There is also a simplified application process for projects under $250,000 to improve accessibility to the scheme.
 
A range of online resources is available to support farmers through the application process, while workshops, webinars and information sessions will be held in coming weeks to provide tips and advice on how to prepare a successful submission.
 
Round 1 saw 13 projects share in more than $3.6 million to encourage greater participation in the emerging WA carbon farming market.
 
More than 70 farmers have also received vouchers of up to $10,000 to complete land management strategies that can support future applications.

Round 2 applications close Friday, 2 December, 2022. For more information, visit www.agric.wa.gov.au/CF-LRP.
