A rare piece of national ecological significance private property in the heart of the Green Wedge has been advertised for sale.

We seek your support and assistance to ensure this 2ha undeveloped bush block is purchased by the Victorian State Government to protect its biodiversity values for the future.

The land, now for sale, forms an integral link between the Timber Reserve and Fourth Hill blocks of Warrandyte State Park. It supports habitat suitable for threatened flora and fauna including iconic Warrandyte species such as the Brush-tailed Phascogale and the Wine-lipped Spider Orchid.

The land is subject to a Bushfire Management Overlay which we understand would require a very significant amount of clearing if a house were to be built. This would be an unacceptable loss of such high value vegetation.

FOWSP has spent over thirty years supporting our rangers in looking after the magnificent remnant bushland on our patch. We have seen an ongoing loss of native vegetation for development over the years and have the experience and knowledge to understand it can never be replaced by replanting elsewhere.
