place. Little Desert Nature Lodge In 2011, Conservation Volunteers Australia became the new owner and manager of Little Desert Nature Lodge (www.littledesertlodge.com.au), near Nhill in Victoria. Salvana Conservation Reserve In 2013, Conservation Volunteers Australia was able to secure the long-term future of Lemon Springs and Middlegate blocks in the Little Desert Region of Western Victoria. These properties are adjacent to the Little Desert National Park and close to the Little Desert Nature Lodge, owned by CVA. The purchase of the property was made possible via a bequest from The State Trustees who managed the Estate of the late Victor Salvana. In recognition of this generous donation the property will be known as the Salvana Conservation Reserve. Brookfield Conservation Park Brookfield Conservation Park is a National Parks & Wildlife park managed by Conservation Volunteers Australia in partnership with the South Australian Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources. It is situated in the Riverland region of South Australia, in typical 'Mallee' country. It is home to both flora and fauna threatened species. CVA undertakes a range of volunteer activities both in the park and in the surrounding area, with a focus on research of threatened species, including the southern hairy-nosed wombat and their habitat. Baseline data collection is one of the main priorities.
