Narran Yarramanbar Regeneration Project

Narran Yarramanbar Regeneration Project is a Human-induced regeneration project located approximately 30km east of Wyandra and 90km south of Charleville in South West Queensland. It was registered in November 2016 and covers 41,249.43ha.

Human-induced regeneration projects involve establishing permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources (including rootstock and lignotubers) on land that was cleared of vegetation and where regrowth was suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project commencing.

The South West Queensland area is known for extensive sheep and beef cattle grazing operations. The region is classified as semi-arid with low, highly variable rainfall, and the landscape is dominated by mulga woodlands with soils that are generally red earths, sandy loams, and clay plains.

This project was set up to achieve carbon sequestration by allowing the native forest to recover through the management of the timing and extent of livestock grazing. Public registry notes show variations over the years adding family members Isabel Leeds and Sophie Leeds to the participant list, which originally only included Christopher Leeds and Julia Leeds. This highlights a generational family-run pastoral enterprise that has integrated carbon farming directly into its traditional agricultural operations. Corporate carbon service provider Select Carbon Pty Ltd is also listed as a participant, likely providing technical support and compliance management for the project.
