History
Little River Earth Sanctuary (1185 ha) was owned by Earth Sanctuaries, a publicly listed company with conservation as its core role. and opened to the public on 7 September 2002.
Earth Sanctuaries purchased the property from the Chirnsides in March 2000, due to the presence of a 170-hectare remnant of old-growth grassy woodland. 21 kilometres of feral-animal proof fencing was constructed, to protect the Long-nosed Potoroos, Southern Brown Bandicoots, Rufous Bettongs, Red-bellied Pademelons, Eastern Quolls and Brush-tailed Phascogales have been introduced back to their former habitat.
The sanctuary has since undergone a change of ownership and management and is known as the Mount Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre.
