Northern Victoria's Box-Ironbark forests and woodlands are unique. They have
enormous environmental values and strong cultural and community ties and traditions.
Since European settlement, the Box-Ironbark forests and
woodlands have been extensively cleared for agriculture, gold
mining, urban development and timber. Today only 17 percent of
the original Box-Ironbark vegetation remains.
The Victorian Government created the Box-Ironbark parks and
reserves, along with over 200 conservation reserves, in October
2002 to conserve and enhance what remains of the Box-Ironbark
forests and woodlands.
