"Three and a half years ago, Karst Kreun bought 60 hectares (150 acres) of land
by Mount Buller in memory of his late wife, Lindy.
Located in Mansfield in Victoria’s north-east, the property, named “Karlindy”
after his wife, had been used for generations for intense farming and seed
production.
“It had 11 mature trees on it,” Kreun says. “That’s it.”
Kruen has planted 13,500 native trees and shrubs so far and is aiming for
90,000 by the time he is finished. “I’ve always been keen on conservation and I
thought this was a good project to work on,” he says of his mission to attract
more birds and wildlife.
“They come for miles. Robins and swallows, wrens and the gang-gang. They have a
unique sound.”
Gang-gang cockatoos are listed as endangered under the federal Environment
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act due to habitat loss in the cool
alpine forests they call home."
