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, situated south-east of Mount Magnet in the Southern Rangelands of Western Australia. It was registered in May 2018 and initially covered an area of 192,692.65 hectares, though variations in 2020 and 2021 have since reduced the overall project boundary.

Human-Induced Regeneration 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 livestock 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 wider Mount Magnet and Murchison region is characterized by vast pastoral leases historically dedicated to extensive cattle and sheep grazing operations, alongside active mining exploration. The local environment is considered semi-arid, experiencing generally low rainfall averaging around 230mm (9 inches) annually. Soil profiles in the area are predominantly red sandy earths, loams, hardpan plains, and clay pans.

This project is notable for its innovative approach to integrating carbon sequestration with biodiversity outcomes. In April 2024, the project was issued over 28,000 ACCUs featuring an independently verified "co-benefit unit" stapled to the credits. Developed by BeImpact in conjunction with the project's proponent, Forever Wild Ltd, these units verify specific actions taken to protect the nationally vulnerable Malleefowl and support comprehensive biodiversity management. Forever Wild operates the property as a low-impact conservation grazing system and further expanded its regional footprint in early 2026 by acquiring the adjacent 170,000-hectare Meeline Station.
