Meeting of Landowners at Bunjurgen 5th October 2021

Information afternoon at Bunjurgen Estate Vineyard/Winery from 2.00PM on Tuesday 5th October
Free wine tasting (see below) and snacks
Wine available for sale by glass or bottle.
Why wildlife corrdiors?

See the maps below. The yellow shapes represent the areas that already have trees but may benefit from understorey enhancement with shrubs for food and/or shelter for wildlife (from bees and butterflies to bettongs and bandicoots). The red lines roughly represent areas where it is challenging for gliders, koalas and other wildlife to travel between areas for breeding, foraging, and as escape routes during disasters. These areas need some more trees to solve this problem, whether just a couple of trees to help gliders glide across your property to reach another forested area or a more serious planting of groups of trees and shrubs.

We were joined by about 25 people, some interested in plantings on their properties, and some in helping with planting or surveys.
Wines we tasted and several of us subsequently bought bottles of were: :
  • Bunjurgen’s own 2018 Shiraz (very soft and very popular)
  • Bunjurgen’s own 2019 Ruby Port
  • Bunjurgen’s own 2010 Tawny port
  • Non-estate 2017 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
