Little River Earth Sanctuary

Little River Earth Sanctuary

Little River Earth Sanctuary is a 1185 ha protected area in Victoria Australia, near the You Yangs and the town of Little River. It is owned by Earth Sanctuaries, a publicly listed company that has conservation as its core role. [ABC.net.au - Landline: [http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2005/s1330004.htm Wamsley walks away from Earth Sanctuaries] - 27/03/2005] and opened to the public on September 7th 2002.

Earth Sanctuaries purchased the property from the Chirnsides in March 2000, due to the presence of a 170-hectare remnant of old-growth grassy woodland. 21 kilometres of feral-animal proof fencing has since been constructed, to protect the Long-nosed Potoroos, Southern Brown Bandicoots, Rufous Bettongs, Red-bellied Pademelons, Eastern Quolls and Brush-tailed Phascogales have been introduced back to their former habitat.

More recently the sanctuary has undergone a change of management and is known as the Mt Rothwell Conservation and Research Centre.
