About the report
The Box-Ironbark ecosystem in northern Victoria has been substantially cleared, and most remnants are either on private land or adjacent public land which is effected by private land management. Landholders therefore have a major role in the conservation of Box-Ironbark. The report summaries existing policies, and suggests improvements to existing legislation and policies to promote the management and conservation of remnant native vegetation on farms, reviews what is known of Box-Ironbark remnants, the perceptions of landholders, and how conservation management on private land may be enhanced in the future.
