Narndee and Boodanoo Regeneration Project
ERF121756
Project Information:
Narndee and Boodanoo Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located on the Narndee and Boodanoo pastoral stations near Mount Magnet in the Southern Rangelands of Western Australia. It was registered in May 2018 and initially covered 192,692.65 hectares, though variations in 2020 and 2021 have since removed some areas from the project boundary.
Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests by altering land management practices. To meet the standard requirements of the method, this project focuses on managing the timing and extent of cattle grazing. This allows native vegetation to recover from in-situ seed sources, such as existing rootstock and lignotubers, on land where regrowth had been suppressed by grazing for at least 10 years prior to the project's commencement.
The Mount Magnet and wider Murchison region is characterised by a semi-arid climate with generally low rainfall. The soils are predominantly red sandy earths, loams, and hardpan plains. The area's land use is largely defined by vast pastoral leases historically dedicated to extensive cattle and sheep grazing operations.
This project is notable for its innovative approach to carbon and biodiversity. In April 2024, the project was issued over 28,000 ACCUs that featured a new, independently verified "co-benefit unit" stapled to the credits. Developed by BeImpact in conjunction with the project's proponent, Forever Wild Group, these stapled units verify specific actions taken to protect the nationally vulnerable Mallee Fowl and support comprehensive biodiversity management. Forever Wild operates the property as a low-impact conservation grazing system and further expanded its footprint in early 2026 by acquiring the adjacent 170,000-hectare Meeline Station.
