Mount Wammiga Regeneration Project

Mount Wammiga Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located at Burrawa Station, approximately 70km southwest of Bourke in New South Wales. It was registered in September 2023 and covers 10,570.47 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests by ceasing suppressive activities and changing land management practices. These projects typically require the regenerating native vegetation to achieve a minimum of 20% crown cover and a height of at least two meters.

The Bourke region is known for pastoral operations, primarily extensive sheep and cattle grazing. The environment is classified as a hot semi-arid climate, experiencing low annual rainfall of approximately 330mm. The regional soils generally consist of red earths, sandy loams, and alluvial clays.

This project was set up to restore permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources (including rootstock and lignotubers). This activity is taking place on land that had been previously cleared of vegetation and where natural regrowth was suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project commencing. The primary activity implemented to achieve this regeneration is the humane management of feral animals, which alleviates grazing pressure on native flora. The project is run by Burrawa Pty Ltd as trustee for the Burrawa Station Family Trust, alongside other participants including Climate Friendly Pty Ltd. In December 2025, a project variation was enacted which removed certain listed areas from the overall project boundaries.
