Tarcutta Hills Reserve

Tarcutta Hills Reserve, established in 1999, spans 738 hectares in New South Wales' lower western slopes of the Great Dividing Range. This reserve safeguards one of Australia's largest intact Grassy White Box Woodlands, a critically endangered ecosystem. It provides vital habitat for over 100 bird species, including the nationally endangered Swift Parrot, Gang-Gang Cockatoo, and the critically endangered Squirrel Glider. The reserve also protects various plant species such as White Cypress Pine, Small-leaf Bush Pea, and Many-flowered Mat-rush. Conservation efforts include reintroducing cultural burns to enhance ecological health and resilience.
