The Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board (EPLB) is one of eight regional Boards collaborating to deliver the overarching project titled SA Carbon Outreach: Trusted advisors empower all SA land managers.

The project will deliver training and advice to empower Eyre Peninsula farmers and land managers to be informed on carbon markets and options for incorporating low emission technologies and practices into farming operations and land management practices.
This will be achieved through the appointment of a regionally embedded Carbon Outreach Officer (COO). The COO will deliver 12 workshops with a combined minimum total of 133 participants between the 2024/25 and 2025/26 years.
