Webinar: Seeds of Innovation at Carnarvon

Host Matthew Taylor chats with Executive Manager of Agriculture & Natural Capital, Ian McConnel about our focus on agriculture and natural capital to address the biodiversity crisis.

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.

The Conversation recently published an article about the devastating impact that rabbits have had and continue to exert on Australia plants, wildlife and landscapes.

Volunteers Tom O'Hara and Georgie McManus recently complete a rabbit survey on our Tarcutta Hills Reserve, including the recently purchased neighbouring block.

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.

New research led by the University of NSW and supported by Bush Heritage Australia has shown that overgrazing by overabundant native herbivores is degrading fragile ecosystems.

Feral goats are a major threat to our rangeland vegetation throughout Australia, where they roam the countryside largely unmanaged.
