Local farmers and friends of farmers are invited to enjoy a delicious free saltbush lamb roll brunch while discovering groundbreaking opportunities to create carbon farming income while growing Greater Glider 'glideways' and Superb Parrot 'flyways' through profitable Open Woodland Restoration projects.
Regen Farmers Mutual co-founder Andrew Ward and his team will be touring the Southern Tablelands from September 29-October 1, offering complimentary gourmet saltbush lamb and gravy rolls alongside information about innovative farming opportunities that pay landholders to restore endangered Box Gum Grassy Woodlands while maintaining productive agricultural operations.
"We're seeing farmers earn $55 per tonne for Australian carbon credits through environmental plantings, with feasibility assessments showing projects can be productive on a several levels," said Ward.
"What's exciting is that these projects create connected habitat corridors for wildlife like Greater Gliders and Superb Parrots while actually increasing farm productivity through improved shelter and carrying capacity."
The NSW Primary Industry Productivity Abatement Program (PIPAP) is sponsoring $1,000 feasibility assessments to help farmers understand their natural capital income potential from carbon and biodiversity projects that complement existing farm operations.

The Open Woodland Restoration design has been created by farmers for farmers, offering multiple benefits for land stewards, livestock, wildlife and climate.
Unlike traditional tree plantings, this approach creates a 'clumpy and open' structure that maintains productive pasture while providing shade and shelter that increases carrying capacity for sheep and cattle.
Participants can complete a quick survey to determine eligibility for the comprehensive feasibility assessment, worth $1,000, and learn about Regen Farmers Mutual membership benefits that support successful project development.
