Yellingbo Conservation Area

The land between the Dandenongs and Yarra Ranges has unique environmental values.

The area currently referred to as the Yellingbo Conservation Area (YCA) is being established to assist in the conservation of the area’s significant biodiversity and ecological values, and a number of threatened species including the critically endangered Helmeted Honeyeater and the Lowland Leadbeater’s Possum. It will also result in improved water quality and river health.
