Cydelia Conservation Reserve

Cydelia Conservation Reserve is a 160 hectare block of bushland near Wartook, in the northern Grampians. It was formerly privately owned, but has never been systematically logged or cleared, and has not been burnt for many years. There is a large area of relatively pristine native grassland, and the rest of the block is lightly timbered.

In 2006, Cybec Foundation purchased the block from Trust for Nature. The Foundation then preserved the property as a Conservation Reserve, with limited public access as it supports several species of endangered plants as well as a number of species of endangered birds.

The conservation reserve is managed by Friends of Cydelia Reserve - an association of interested local residents, and representatives of conservation organisations.
