Katanning Research Station has set a target to become carbon neutral by 2030.
Saltland rehabilitation is one of the strategies to be implemented to offset the emissions from the station.
The rehabilitation process involved:
- revegetating salt affected land that has poor crop and pasture growth with native trees and shrubs to enhance native biodiversity
- establishing saltland pastures to provide out of season feed for livestock and reduce supplementary feeding
- managing surface water
- groundwater drainage.
