Maranalgo Station Regeneration Project

Maranalgo Station Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located at Maranalgo Station, approximately 25km southeast of the locality of Paynes Find in the Mid West region of Western Australia. Registered in October 2018, the project covers a massive 68,099 hectares of pastoral land. The region is traditionally used for extensive grazing of sheep and cattle, characterized by vast rangelands, saltbush country, and lake systems.

The project operates under the Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) methodology, which does not involve planting new trees. Instead, it focuses on land management changes, specifically managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing, to suppress threats to vegetation. By reducing grazing pressure, the project allows native forest to regenerate naturally from in-situ seed sources like rootstock and lignotubers. This specific project targets land that had been cleared or suppressed for at least 10 years prior to registration.

Environmentally, the Maranalgo area is classified as semi-arid, receiving a low average annual rainfall of approximately 280mm. The landscape features diverse soil types, including sandy soils, red loams, and laterite, which typically support vegetation such as Mulga and native grasses.

A notable aspect of this project is the recent administrative changes reflecting the property's history. Maranalgo Station was listed for sale and sold in November 2022, described at the time as having "range lands in very good condition." Following this transaction, the project proponent was updated in September 2024 from Aneika Parker to Augie Grandall Pty Ltd as Trustee for The Maranalgo Property Trust, likely aligning the carbon project with the new ownership structure. The project is supported by Select Carbon Pty Ltd as the carbon service provider.
