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.
This site was created by the former Yellingbo Conservation Area Coordinating Committee (YCACC), which improved coordination and collaboration between land managers and other agencies involved in the management of the Yellingbo Conservation Area from 27 October 2015 to 31 Jan 2019.
