In the wake of the devastating 2025 summer bushfires, this 500-hectare property in the Little Desert region has become a top priority for Carbon Landscapes. Situated on Barengi Gadjin Country and largely surrounded by the Little Desert National Park, the property is protected under a Conservation Covenant through Trust for Nature. It contains some of the last remaining patches of remnant Mallee vegetation on private land in Victoria—an ecosystem critical to the survival of unique and threatened native fauna.
Our mission is to restore this landscape and create a thriving habitat where wildlife, especially the vulnerable Malleefowl, can return and flourish.
Once widespread across the Mallee, the Malleefowl is now confined to fragmented pockets of remnant vegetation, mostly on private land. Listed as Vulnerable, the species faces significant threats including habitat loss, bushfires, and road mortality.
Malleefowl are known for their remarkable nesting behavior—constructing large incubation mounds that can reach up to 8 metres wide and 1 metre high. These mounds are present on the property, offering hope for future recovery for this species.
