Miden Regeneration Project

Miden Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located in outback New South Wales, approximately 90km north-northwest of Cobar. It was registered in July 2015 and covers an area of 7,183.02 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests from in-situ seed sources (including rootstock and lignotubers) on land where native vegetation has been previously cleared and suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project commencing.

The Cobar region is broadly known for extensive pastoral grazing operations, particularly for sheep and cattle, alongside historical mining. The area is classified as a semi-arid environment with low rainfall, and the regional soils generally consist of red earths and sandy loams.

To facilitate tree growth, this project focuses on managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing, while actively controlling feral animals in a humane manner to reduce grazing pressure on young native seedlings.

In August 2023, the project updated its methodology to Compilation No. 3 of the HIR determination. Later, in November 2025, the primary project participant was updated from Arthur Kennerley to Evelyne Kennerley, who works alongside the project agent and developer, Select Carbon Pty Ltd. Furthermore, the project successfully secured a Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC102320) with the Australian Government to deliver 65,247 carbon credits.
