Land Management
In 2006, Conservation Volunteers Australia received a significant donation of a block of degraded land which CV is transforming into a conservation reserve through volunteer efforts. The W.James Whyte Island Reserve is located just outside Bacchus Marsh in Victoria. To date, more than a quarter of a million trees have been planted at the reserve. Extensive weed control has also taken place.
Brookfield Conservation Park is a National Parks & Wildlife park managed by Conservation Volunteers Australia in partnership with the South Australian Department of Environment and Natural Resources. It is situated in the Riverland region of South Australia, in typical 'Mallee' country. It is home to both flora and fauna threatened species. CVA undertakes a range of volunteer activities both in the park and in the surrounding area, with a focus on research of threatened species, including the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat and their habitat. Baseline data collection is one of the main priorities.
Conservation Volunteers also owns and manages a conservation property at Mount Arthur in Tasmania.
