Euroli Carbon Farm

Euroli Carbon Farm is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located on the Euroli pastoral station, approximately 80km north-northeast of the remote outback village of Wanaaring in New South Wales. For a broader geographic context, this places the project roughly 190km northwest of the major regional service centre of Bourke. Registered in April 2015, the project covers a total area of 27,678 hectares, with a designated Carbon Estimation Area (CEA) of approximately 12,367 hectares where active regeneration is credited.

The project operates under the Human-Induced Regeneration methodology, which involves regenerating native forests from in-situ seed sources and rootstock found in the soil. Rather than planting new trees, the proponents manage the timing and extent of livestock grazing and control feral animals (such as goats) to suppress the factors that previously prevented vegetation regrowth. This allows the native forest to recover on land where vegetation was historically cleared or suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project's commencement.

The region is part of the Mulga Lands bioregion, characterized by a semi-arid to arid climate with an average annual rainfall of approximately 250-300mm. The landscape is dominated by red sandy loams and red earth soils, supporting vegetation types such as Mulga (Acacia aneura) and bimble box. Historically, this area has been utilized extensively for extensive sheep and cattle grazing. A notable success of the Euroli Carbon Farm is its completion of a Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC944194) with the Australian Government, under which it successfully delivered over 85,000 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).
