$5000 Grants: Cutting Through the Confusion
Are carbon markets worth your time and investment? The path to carbon farming shouldn’t begin with guesswork or risk. Analyze your unique land characteristics and farm operations to determine if carbon projects make economic sense for your business.
What You’ll Discover:
Your assessment will provide clear insights into potential carbon sequestration rates, implementation costs, and projected returns specific to your property. You will receive an evaluation of which practices might work best for your situation while considering productivity impacts and administrative requirements.
Why This Matters:
Unlike general information sessions, these assessments deliver actionable, farm-specific guidance. Understand whether carbon farming aligns with your business goals before committing significant resources. Many farmers discover valuable co-benefits beyond potential carbon credits, including improved soil health and drought resilience.

Don’t navigate carbon markets alone. Our simple application process connects you with qualified experts who can evaluate your farm’s carbon potential. Take this critical first step toward clarity about your carbon farming options.
IntRoducing our STAR GROUP
FOR THOSE READY TO APPLY for a grant
Why was the STAR Group formed?
The objective of the Southern Tablelands Agricultural Restoration (STAR) project is to discover what we can do individually and collectively to improve both farm productivity and biodiversity – and to be financially rewarded for doing so.
The NSW Southern Tablelands is a highly productive agricultural landscape, predominantly merinos, prime lambs, beef cattle and some cropping.
Many landholders are aiming to balance farm productivity, profitability and landscape resilience in a changing climate. Natural assets across the region have been significantly depleted over time, leading to erosion, salinity, reduction of soil carbon levels and a loss of connectivity and diversity of native vegetation (biodiversity).
The Southern Tablelands Agricultural Restoration project is managed by farmers for farmers. Our aim is to capture and store carbon to offset emissions and establish connected landscape corridors across the Southern Tablelands that will restore biodiversity and ensure the survival of endangered species. By joining the Southern Tablelands Agricultural Restoration (STAR) project, together we can Connect, Restore, Protect, Reward the Southern Tablelands and showcase to the world – restoration is the key to future productive farming and it’s possible at scale!
CONNECT
- Connect with a community of like-minded farmers and landholders via the Southern Tablelands Agricultural Restoration project (STAR project)
- Connect with Regen Farmers Mutual for valuable insights on your emissions, funding & support for selling carbon assets
- Build connectivity in the landscape for greater impact, for improved biodiversity and species survival
RESTORE
- Re-establish Box Gum Grassy Woodlands,
- Restore damaged and degraded areas of erosion, salinity, and biodiversity loss through native planting projects.
- Restore Gullies, Creeks, Dams and landscape habitat to build biodiversity where species thrive.
- Restore soil quality to support productive plant growth, with deep roots that sequester Carbon and hold moisture. Build resilience in the landscape
PROTECT
- Protect our vulnerable woodlands, shrubs, grasses, waterways & our unique species through farm infrastructure planning, strategic grazing and effective management of pests and weeds.
REWARD
- Coordinated and aggregated projects that deliver real impacts for a connected community and landscape
- A resilient and biodiverse environment with thriving threatened species
- Farmers as landscape managers delivering real solutions for the health of the planet by sequestering carbon on-farm
- Diversifying farm income and managing business risk through additional income streams such as Carbon projects
- A resilient and productive landscape means a sustainable, productive and profitable farm business- a better future for our farm, our families, our community and our planet.
