Carbon Landscapes is working in partnership with Eastern Maar, Odonata, and the Stony Rises Land Management Network, to eradicate introduced predators, establish predator-proof fencing, and protect and enhance the property’s nationally listed ephemeral wetlands and threatened Stony Rise Woodland. We will also be working with our partners to reintroduce fauna species such as the Spotted-tail Quoll, Long-nosed Potoroo and Koala.
The Spotted-tail Quoll is Australia’s largest mainland marsupial predator being roughly the size of a large cat. It feeds on small mammals, frogs and reptiles. It prefers habitat that has dense understory with high amounts of logs and rocky escarpments, the latter which it uses for breeding. The Quoll was once commonly seen in the Stony Rises and surrounding district, today records are restricted to a few sightings in the nearby Otway Ranges. Other priority threatened species include the Southern Bent-wing Bat, Australasian Bittern and Koala.
