NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust

For more than 60 years, Chakola has been a place of stewardship, learning and caring for Country and in more recent times become known as one of the Kangaroo Valley’s southernmost population of brush-tailed rock wallabies  

More than 90 leaders from investment, business, philanthropy and conservation attended the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust’s Climate Action Week panel, Valuing Nature: Economic Opportunities in our Natural World, hosted with Nature Positive Matters .  

A strong landholder response to our latest Fixed Price Offer (FPO) is driving new conservation opportunities across NSW, with assessment of the biodiversity on participating eligible properties progressing from this week.

Gayini shows what’s possible when Country is cared for by the people who know it best, proving when culture leads, conservation thrives. 

The NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust is funding UNSW researchers from the Centre for Ecosystem Science to examine how Gayini’s ecosystems, particularly the floodplains and wetlands, respond to managed water flows and different grazing regimes. Their study will assess changes in water, soil and vegetation.
