Hattah Bush Block

Partnering with the Mallee Catchment Management Authority (CMA)

The 2019-23 Regional Land Partnerships (RLP) Mallee Threatened Species Services program focuses on on-ground works to Reconnect Malleefowl Habitat to core areas within our region. This project invloves strategic revegetation works at priority sites such as the Hattah bush block, which adjoins the Hattah-Kulkyne National Park, re-connecting fragmented habitat for Malleefowl populations.

The Mallee CMA through funding from the Australian Government’s Regional Land Partnerships program is working with us until 2023 with all aspects of the project. This includes all site preparation, rabbit control, weed control and the implementation of direct seeding, tubestock planting, and tubestock watering. 

 Greening Australia undertook the planting of all tubestock and tree guarding across the the bush block over the 2020/21 financial year. 2300 trees in total and 5kg of seed was planted and guarded in June 2021 and the majority of species planted were Eucalyptus coinciding with the existing (EVC) Ecological Vegetation Classes, Loamy Sands Mallee and Woorinen Sands Mallee.  

Over the next 2 years revegetation, watering and pest animal control will continue to take place to continue reconnecting areas of habitat fragmentation, benefitting malleefowl for the future.
