Ularunda Regeneration Project

Ularunda Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located on Ularunda Station, approximately 50km south of Morven and 90km east of Charleville in South West Queensland. It was registered in August 2015 and covers an extensive area of 42,189.46 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests by removing the pressures that naturally suppress tree growth. Standard requirements for this methodology dictate that the designated project land must have been cleared of vegetation, with regrowth actively suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project's commencement.

The Morven region, situated within the Mulga Lands bioregion, is heavily utilised for pastoralism, particularly sheep and cattle grazing. The area experiences a semi-arid climate with highly variable rainfall (averaging roughly 470mm annually) and features generally shallow lithosols, red earths, and sandy loams which are highly typical of mulga vegetation environments.

To facilitate the recovery of the native forest from in-situ seed sources (such as rootstock and lignotubers), the project involves ceasing the mechanical and chemical destruction of regrowth. The proponents are also focusing on the careful management of the timing and extent of livestock grazing across the property to encourage canopy cover. Ularunda Station possesses a deep pastoral history, having been originally established for sheep and cattle farming by the Fletcher Brothers partnership in 1907. The carbon project has seen several recent administrative updates, including a methodology variation to Compilation No. 3 in July 2023. Most recently, in April 2026, the participant list was formally varied to include Cassandra Ryan and Peter Ryan alongside the original proponents, Andrew and Leanne McInnerney.
