Good environmental management of bush blocks offers the potential for major conservation gain. In Northern Australia, there may characteristically be one or two rangers per 1,000 km2 of national park – on bush blocks, the management input may be at least 100 times that effort. It is possible on bush blocks to achieve conservation outcomes that are practically impossible on larger blocks of land. It’s possible to achieve even more conservation gain working together with your neighbours and pooling resources.
