Conservation is at the heart of what we do!

The 16:6 Heritage Trust comprises four separate Heritage agreements that share one or more boundaries to represent just over 2000 acres of Native Vegetation.

Situated approximately 116 Kilometres Northeast of  Adelaide and 26 kilometres Southwest from Swan Reach in the Murray Darling Depression Eco Region between the Ridley and Swan Reach Conservation Parks.  .

The property represented through the Murray Darling Depression is composed primarily of the typical Mallee Woodland Eucalypt species that produces multiple stems from an underground rootstock known as a lignotuber, some open Chenopod and Senna scrubland as well as areas of dense Triodia (spinifex) and Acacia over sandy soil.
The property represents quite a variety of understory from open grasslands, clay pans to quite dense intact Mallee, all depending upon the soil type, past farming practices and land clearance.

A Southern Whiteface - Nesting Sect 13 - Currawong

Two of the  four sections were partly cleared at the turn of the century for cropping and some grazing, however, by 1945 this semi-arid area was deemed to be untenable.

Due to the comparatively intact stratum, this land is home to a quite diverse representation of flora, fauna, and invertebrate species and is fortunate to include several State rare listed species as well as some regionally vulnerable species. Such as the; Southern Hairy Nose Wombat,  Southern White face,  Mallee Fowl, Bardick snake, the Rohrlach’s Bluebush, Acacia Montana and Red Microcybe
