Darling River Eco Corridor 11 (Revoked)

Darling River Eco Corridor 11 (Revoked) was a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located at Bulgoo Station, approximately 50km south of Cobar in the Orana region of New South Wales. Registered in July 2015 and covering a substantial area of 20,825 hectares, the project was situated on the eastern edge of the Cobar Peneplain. This region is predominantly utilized for grazing, particularly for sheep and rangeland goats, which are a significant agricultural commodity in the area.

The project operated under the Human-Induced Regeneration methodology, which awards carbon credits for regenerating native forests on land where vegetation growth has been suppressed for at least 10 years, typically by livestock or feral animals. To achieve this, the project activities involved managing the timing and extent of grazing and controlling feral animal populations to allow native species, such as Cypress pine, Bimble Box, and Mallee, to regenerate. This specific project instance (ERF101676) was voluntarily revoked in December 2017, a common occurrence when projects are re-stratified, boundaries are adjusted, or they are transitioned to different project identifiers (such as the later "Darling River Conservation Initiative" listings).

Environmentally, the site lies in a semi-arid zone characterized by low and variable rainfall, averaging around 390mm annually. The terrain is generally flat to slightly undulating with soils consisting primarily of red earths and sandy loams, which support open woodland vegetation. Interestingly, the property "Bulgoo" is well-documented in agricultural listings as a high-value aggregation combining carbon farming with extensive goat production, illustrating the dual land-use model often employed in this region of Western NSW.
