Our conservation fencing project :
We have completely enclosed our 490-hectare conservation property with an electric fence to manage grazing pressure.
We erected our first stretch of Westonfence back in 2014 to reduce grazing pressure from kangaroos. We have now completed a 13-km long perimeter fence around our entire 490-hectare property. The fence also excludes pigs and goats, their trampling, wallowing and eating! We expect to see a huge response as rare plants return, habitat improves, and we won’t need to individually guard every tree we plant.

Fencing for pigs
Whenever it rains, pigs move through our property: trampling, wallowing and eating as they go. We won't see them for months, then overnight there'll be a smash-and-grab incursion. Our conservation fence, which is so nearly finished, will exclude pigs. Yay!
Funding to finish the fence
We’ve received funding to complete our 13 km boundary fence! This will protect our 490-hectare conservation property from over-grazing and damage by goats, pigs and kangaroos.
