Conservation property in outback WA to be put on market
The owners of Wooleen Station in Western Australia plan to sell their property after nearly 20 years of conservation efforts.
After managing Wooleen Station for almost two decades, David and Frances Pollock have announced their intention to sell the property, citing a desire to find owners who will continue their conservation efforts. Located in the arid landscape of Western Australia, approximately 700 kilometers north of Perth, Wooleen Station spans 134,000 hectares and focuses on tourism and environmental restoration. The Pollocks took over the management of the station in 2007 with a vision to rehabilitate the land that had suffered from years of overgrazing.
During their tenure, the Pollocks have earned national recognition for their innovative approaches to landscape conservation, which includes de-stocking the property and managing local dingo populations to aid in ecosystem recovery. Their methods not only contributed to the area's ecological health but also attracted tourists interested in sustainable practices. The couple is now seeking new owners who appreciate the property's ecological significance and are committed to its continued stewardship.
The sale of Wooleen Station represents a significant transition in the propertyβs history, as the Pollocks hope to pass on their legacy of environmental conservation to someone who shares their vision. The upcoming listing highlights the growing importance of sustainable land management in Australia, particularly in the context of preserving biodiversity and combating the effects of climate change through responsible tourism and conservation efforts.
