Together with the Carbon + Biodiversity Pilot the Enhancing Remnant Vegetation Pilot is trialling ways to pay landholders for improving biodiversity on their properties.
This pilot aims to help develop a biodiversity market to encourage environmental improvement on private land. The pilot looks at managing native vegetation using locally adapted management protocols developed by the Australian National University in consultation with Natural Resource Management (NRM) organisations.
Successful landholders receive payments to manage and improve existing remnant native vegetation on their property.
The pilot is part of the wider Agriculture Biodiversity Stewardship Package.
