Corporate climate claims are now assessed through a dual lens: carbon integrity and nature impact.
Wandalong delivers both.
Through large-scale landscape repair, verified Australian Carbon Credit Units and measurable biodiversity recovery within one permanent project.
The Wandalong Biodiverse Reforestation Project is a native revegetation initiative located at the northernmost point of the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor in Western Australia’s Southwest ecoregion.
What was once largely cleared agricultural land is being transformed into a permanent native woodland – legally protected for 100 years and designed to deliver measurable climate and nature outcomes together.
The Project
Spanning 4,504 hectares, the property includes 2,384 hectares of previously cleared arable land and 2,020 hectares of intact remnant vegetation.
The soils – red sandy loams over clay subsoil – have become increasingly uneconomic to crop in a drying climate. What now limits agricultural productivity creates a clear opportunity for permanent reforestation. The project converts marginal farmland into a long-term carbon sink while restoring woodland structure and ecological function.

Estimated 10,020 tonnes of CO₂-e per year across a crediting period to 2048.
Key Outcomes: Beyond the Tonne
In a carbon market increasingly scrutinised for integrity, structure matters.
Wandalong is not a single-species carbon planting. It is a large-scale native reforestation project designed to generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) while restoring one of Western Australia’s most ecologically significant landscapes.
Biodiversity at Landscape Scale
Embedded within the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor – Australia’s largest biodiverse reforestation carbon sink, now stretching more than 200 kilometres across the northern wheatbelt – the Wandalong Biodiverse Reforestation Project strengthens habitat connectivity between conservation reserves while rebuilding woodland structure across degraded agricultural land.
Permanent plantings of locally endemic species, including York gum, Salmon gum, mallee eucalypts and acacias, are selected to regenerate natural ecological systems and restore habitat complexity. This species diversity underpins long-term resilience to climate variability and supports durable carbon permanence.
Carbon modelling forecasts substantial sequestration from these plantings, delivering measurable climate abatement while reversing decades of land degradation. At Wandalong, carbon sequestration, biodiversity recovery and landscape repair are not parallel objectives – they are integrated outcomes of a single, permanent project.
the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor
The Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor is a high impact reforestation project that simultaneously delivers environmental, economic, social and heritage co-benefits.
