Quoll Sanctuary Trust

The Quoll Sanctuary Trust acquires and fences predator-free reserve land, and holds it permanently.

Light breaking over forested ranges in the Blue Mountains.

Feral cats and foxes are the second pressure on quoll populations, and on the mainland they are effectively impossible to remove at landscape scale. A conservation fence is a blunt instrument, but inside one the arithmetic changes completely.

The Trust currently holds 37 hectares across three parcels, fenced to a 1.8-metre floppy-top standard and monitored for incursions. The target is 200 hectares by the end of FY27.

Land is held in trust, not optioned or leased, so that a population established inside a fence cannot be displaced by a change of ownership. This is slow, capital-intensive work, and it is the most durable thing QED does.
