Windsor Station Regeneration Project

Windsor Station Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located at Windsor Station, approximately 80km east of Mount Magnet in the Mid West region of Western Australia. It was registered in May 2018 and originally covered 95,403.29ha, though some areas were subsequently removed through variations in 2020 and 2022.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent native forests by changing land management practices to assist natural regeneration. This methodology requires the land to have had native vegetation regrowth suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project. The Windsor Station project specifically relies on managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing, which allows in-situ seeds, rootstocks, and lignotubers to regenerate into an even-aged native forest.

The Mount Magnet and Sandstone area is predominantly known for cattle and sheep pastoralism as well as historic gold mining operations. The region experiences a semi-arid climate with low rainfall, typically averaging around 235mm to 257mm annually, and features soils primarily made up of red sandy loams, clay plains, and shallow stony gravels.

In late 2024, Windsor Station was listed for sale, prominently advertising its registered and actively reporting HIR carbon project as a key asset that had already generated significant ACCU issuances. The station also made headlines in 2015 when a family of missing prospectors was found safe nearby following a massive multi-day search and rescue operation in the outback.
