'The Island' is a large property of over 200 hectares and was donated to Conservation Volunteers in 2006 by W. James Whyte. It is situated near Bacchus Marsh, approximately 50 kms west of Melbourne. While the property is adjacent to the Werribee Gorge State Park, 'The Island' was significantly degraded and our focus is to see it restored to environmental health. Every year our volunteers visit the Island in order to assist with a variety of activities including pest and weed control, stock exclusion fencing, water quality testing, and invasive weed control and undertaking fauna and flora surveys. The focus of this project will be tree planting activities aiming to create and enhance wildlife corridors and biodiversity links.
