Protected area in New South Wales, Australia
Tarcutta Hills Reserve is a 738-hectare (1,820-acre) nature reserve on the lower western slopes of the Great Dividing Range in central west New South Wales , Australia. It is 427 kilometres (265 mi ) south-west of Sydney, close to the Hume Highway , and 15 kilometres (9.3 mi ) south of Tarcutta . It is owned and managed by Bush Heritage Australia (BHA), which purchased it in 1999, and it is listed on the Register of the National Estate .
In late 2020, Bush Heritage purchased a 288-hectare (710-acre) parcel of land, adjacent to the northern boundary of the reserve, extending the total size of the reserve.[2] The new block of land features a large and healthy example of White Box -Yellow Box -Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland,[2] an ecological community classified as Critically Endangered in NSW.[3]
Landscape and biota [ edit ]
Tarcutta Hills protects the largest area of intact grassy white box woodland in Australia. It has a high species richness and contains habitat suitable for the threatened turquoise parrot , swift parrot , superb parrot and regent honeyeater .[4] [5] The reserve is part of the South-west Slopes of NSW Important Bird Area (IBA), identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for the conservation of swift parrots and superb parrots .[6] Some of the plants that have a habitat here are White Cypress Pine , Small-leaf Bush Pea , Honeypot , Many-flowered Mat-rush , Kurrajong .[7]
