Darling River Eco Corridor 24 (Revoked)

Darling River Eco Corridor 24 (Revoked) was a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located on "The Meadows" station, approximately 55km southwest of the major township of Cobar in western New South Wales. The project, originally named "The Meadows Human-Induced Regeneration Project," was registered in July 2015 and covered a substantial area of 27,993 hectares. It was operated by Terra Carbon Pty Limited, a subsidiary of GreenCollar, until its voluntary revocation in August 2021.

The project was situated in the Cobar Peneplain bioregion, an area characterized by semi-arid conditions with an average annual rainfall of approximately 360mm. The landscape typically consists of undulating red sandy loam soils, clay box flats, and ridges supporting vegetation such as Mulga, Cypress Pine, Belah, and Rosewood. The primary land use in this region is pastoral grazing, specifically for sheep and rangeland goats, which aligns with the project's activities.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects generate carbon credits by regenerating native forests through the management of suppression activities rather than planting trees. For this project, activities involved managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing and controlling feral animals (such as goats) to allow native vegetation to recover and reach forest cover status.

A notable aspect of this project is its revocation in August 2021, which occurred shortly before "The Meadows" station was sold as part of the "Bulgoo Aggregation" in late 2021. While this specific 27,993-hectare HIR project was cancelled, sales listings for the property at the time indicated the presence of a smaller, separate "Avoided Deforestation" carbon project (approx. 8,000 ha) that remained active on the aggregation, highlighting the complex layering of carbon agreements often found on large pastoral holdings.
