Glenelg Hopkins CMA Landcare Leaders series
Angus and Bobbie McLean, Pigeon Ponds
How a rabbit refuge became revegetated and regenerated
When Angus McLean and his wife, Bobbie, moved back to the Pigeon Ponds district in 2014 and purchased a farm hosting almost the entire population of the region’s rabbits, they could not have realized how much change they could influence on a property in just 12 years through fencing, revegetation and regeneration. With a new bridge, watering system that lifts water almost 80 metres up hillsides, and a creek area that is now an abundance of regeneration, the McLeans are now farming in an environment that is safer, healthier and more productive than ever.
