Narran Yarramanbar Regeneration Project

The Narran Yarramanbar Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located in the Mulga Lands of southwest Queensland. The project area spans approximately 41,249 hectares and encompasses the pastoral stations "Narran" and "Yarramanbar." It is situated roughly 50 kilometers east of the small township of Wyandra and approximately 100 kilometers northeast of Cunnamulla, falling within the Paroo and Murweh local government areas.

Registered in November 2016, the project operates under the Carbon Farming Initiative to sequester carbon by regenerating permanent native forests. The methodology involves managing the timing and extent of grazing activities to suppress negative impacts on vegetation, allowing native species, typically Mulga (Acacia aneura) and associated woodlands, to regenerate from in-situ seed sources like rootstock and lignotubers. The region is characterized by a semi-arid climate with irregular rainfall and predominantly red earth soils, where the primary historical land use has been sheep and cattle grazing.

An interesting administrative note is that this project (ERF105136) appears to be a successor to a previously revoked project named the "Narran/Yarramanbar Regeneration Project" (ERF101250), which was revoked in September 2016 shortly before the current registration. The project is managed by the Leeds family, with Select Carbon (now a subsidiary of Shell) acting as the agent. As of early 2025, the participant structure was updated to include additional family members.
