Nature sanctuaries protecting habitat forever

Conservation Reserves

Trust for Nature is currently custodian of more than 40 conservation properties across Victoria. We’ve acquired these properties thanks to the generosity of our supporters who recognised the importance of conserving native flora and fauna.

View Reserves
Our supporters help us protect key properties by gifting land, leaving a bequest in their will, and community fundraising.

Some of our reserves are maintained through the generosity, hard work and invaluable local knowledge of volunteer Committees of Management, who meet regularly to conduct on-ground works and hold community events.

The reserves are managed for conservation to protect our wonderful plants and animals. If you visit a reserve that is open to the public; please leave pets at home.

All Trust for Nature reserves are closed on days of Total Fire Ban, and days of extreme or catastrophic fire danger.

For you.

For Victoria.

For Future Generations.

Forever.

Snape Reserve

Learn More

Purchased in 2002 thanks to the generosity of Diana and Brian Snape, Snape Reserve helps buffer Little Desert National Park. It is 846 ha, and situated near Dimboola in the Wimmera. Snape Reserve is significant due to its cultural heritage values and because of the vegetation it protects.

Snape Reserve is also important  because it is the largest private land conservation effort between the Little Desert and the Wimmera River, which flows north before terminating in the ephemeral Lakes of Hindmarsh and Albacutya in north-west Victoria.

Ned’s Corner Station is now the largest privately owned conservation property in Victoria

In 2022, Trust for Nature committed to enabling the transfer of ownership of Neds Corner Station to its Traditional Owners.
