WELCOME TO
BIRDSONG
Regenerative & wildlife friendly micro-forestry in the Macedon Ranges
Who are we?
Birdsong is a 275 acre property located on Taungurung country near the township of Kyneton
We are adopting a regenerative, micro-forestry model to restore and sustainably manage degraded farmland, harnessing the value of plantation timber for the benefit of humans and wildlife alike.
Birdsong is an ever-evolving journey of sensitive land based practices in collaboration with nature.
From 2022 we are exploring uses for sustainable plantation timber
SUSTAINABLE
FIREWOOD
Sustainable Firewood
We are exploring bringing 100% sustainable firewood to the Macedon Ranges. We will be supplying a small amount in the 2022 season as part of a pilot.

What else is happening at Birdsong?
Observing, Documenting, Experimenting, Learning
WEED MANAGEMENT
We have experimented with goats to control blackberry infestations for the past 4 years. Itβs been challenging journey but we have learned so much and are slowly but surely seeing results
FLORA
Since taking stock off in 2015 we have witnessed the re-emergence of many native plants. Regularly documenting them along the way allows us to know that the land is healing
FAUNA
Wombats, echidnas, wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, reptiles, insects and birds. Birdsong is home to many amazing creatures and protecting habitat is our priority
