Darling River Eco Corridor 23 (Revoked)

Darling River Eco Corridor 23 (Revoked) was a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) carbon project located in the Cobar Local Government Area, approximately 45km south-west of the township of Cobar, New South Wales. Registered on July 10, 2015, the project covered a substantial area of 12,375 hectares. The project was originally known as "The Bluff Human-Induced Regeneration Project," indicating it was likely established on "The Bluff" pastoral property. It was voluntarily revoked on February 10, 2020, under Section 30 of the CFI Rule, a common administrative procedure often used to consolidate projects or transition them to updated method variations.

The Human-Induced Regeneration methodology focuses on restoring native forests on land where vegetation has been suppressed for at least 10 years. Unlike environmental planting, HIR does not involve manually planting trees. Instead, landholders implement management changes, such as reducing livestock grazing pressure or controlling feral animals like goats, to allow native vegetation to regenerate naturally from in-situ seed sources, rootstock, and lignotubers.

The Cobar region is characterized by a semi-arid climate with variable rainfall, averaging around 390mm annually. The landscape typically features red earth soils (Kandosols) and skeletal soils on ridges, supporting rangeland grazing of sheep and cattle. The native vegetation in this area usually consists of bimble box (poplar box), mulga, and white cypress pine woodlands. This project was part of the wider "Darling River Eco Corridor" aggregation managed by Terra Carbon (a subsidiary of GreenCollar), which aims to create a contiguous zone of protected habitat across the Western Division of NSW.
