Enhancing biodiversity through agricultural partnerships

Sprawling across 167,570 hectares in the Murchison region of WA, Austin Downs teems with life, but this wasn’t always the case. 

At Turnip Creek, we are leading a collaborative research project to demonstrate rehydration strategies that enhance biodiversity and farm production.

Protecting, restoring, and regenerating the land involves baseline ecological monitoring for BackTrack guides and healing strategies for Country. 

Preliminary results are in from Macdoch Foundation’s Farming for the Future research project and they indicate a positive link between biodiversity and prosperity.

The first seeds of a world-class restoration project are planted and set the bar for future carbon projects.

It might seem strange for an ecologist to spend time on pastoral lands, but that’s exactly what Imogen Semmler does, to measure the health of their ecosystems and quantify their biodiverse value.

A decade of collaboration between landholders, the Tasmanian Land Conservancy and Bush Heritage. Discover the lessons learned along the way.

Ecologist Imogen Semmler is touring farms in NSW, to measure the health of farm ecosystems as part of Bush Heritage’s emerging focus on working with farmers to increase biodiversity.

Join Chris and Alison Wilson in this webinar to discuss harvesting native Bluegrass seed at Carnarvon Station Reserve and rehabilitating degraded grasslands.

Rare native Australian grasslands have been given a new lease on life thanks to an innovative seed harvesting project at our Carnarvon Station Reserve.

Vital species live in Carnarvon Station Reserve’s endangered bluegrass grasslands. A new seed harvesting project is helping to ensure their survival in the face of climate change.

Ecologists at our Carnarvon Station Reserve in central Queensland have recently confirmed the existence of an endangered bluegrass species on the reserve.

On a farm in the Tasmanian Midlands, Simon Cameron is proving that conservation and superfine wool production can go hand-in-hand.

For some threatened creatures, the grassy plains and woodlands of the Tasmanian Midlands are the only refuges they have left. That’s why we’re trying to save them.

What do you do if you want to protect the natural bush on your land, while at the same time making a living off it as a fourth-generation Tasmanian farmer?
