Green Creek Regeneration Project

The Green Creek Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located approximately 76 kilometers northwest of Bourke in New South Wales. Situated along the Dowling Track near Ford's Bridge, the project spans 11,548 hectares. The property, known as "Green Creek," is situated in the semi-arid Mulga Lands bioregion, an area traditionally utilized for the grazing of sheep, cattle, and goats.

Registered in March 2022, this project falls under the Human-Induced Regeneration methodology. This method involves regenerating permanent native forests on land where vegetation growth has been suppressed for at least 10 years, typically by grazing pressure or mechanical clearing. The project activities focus on managing the timing and extent of grazing to allow native species, specifically soft red mulga and gidgee on this property, to regenerate from in-situ seed sources and rootstocks.

The region is characterized by a semi-arid climate with variable rainfall and soils dominated by red earths and sandy loams, often interspersed with claypans and stony browse country. A notable development for this project occurred in mid-2022 when the property was sold to the Gubbins family (SW Gubbins Trust Estate No. 3), a prominent pastoral family with significant holdings in Victoria and South Australia. The project is facilitated by carbon service provider Climate Friendly.
