Edah Station Regeneration Project

Edah Station Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located approximately 60km east of Yalgoo in the Mid West region of Western Australia. Registered in November 2018, the project spans a massive 102,906 hectares within the Shire of Yalgoo. The property, Edah Station, is a pastoral lease traditionally used for grazing sheep and cattle, situated between the townships of Yalgoo and Mount Magnet.

The project operates under the Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) methodology. This requires the proponents to implement management changes, specifically the control of grazing pressure from livestock and feral animals, to allow native vegetation to regenerate into forest cover. Unlike tree planting projects, HIR relies on existing soil seed banks and rootstocks (lignotubers) to naturally regrow native species once suppression activities are halted or managed.

Environmentally, the region is classified as semi-arid to arid, with an average annual rainfall of approximately 260mm. The landscape is typical of the "Mulga" rangelands, characterized by red earth soils, shallow loams over hardpan, and vegetation dominated by Acacia species (Mulga) and native shrublands.

A notable aspect of this project is its maturity in the carbon market; the project held a Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC482288) with the Australian Government which was successfully completed in May 2024. The project is managed with the assistance of Select Carbon Pty Ltd, a major carbon service provider now owned by Shell Energy.
