The Gordon’s property (Oakeley Farm), located in Frankland River, Western Australia, represents the early stages of a thoughtful transition toward regenerative and sustainable land management. Purchased years ago, the property is now managed directly by Jessica and her husband. The 124‑hectare holding had previously supported a blue gum plantation, which was removed two years prior, leaving behind significant soil constraints typical of plantation legacy impacts.

 Since taking ownership, the Gordons have initiated a grazing-focused enterprise within the project area, moving in Hillcroft Ultra White breeding ewes and completing their first lambing season, with plans to continue expanding the flock each year. 

 The family is also actively working to enhance ecological function on the property by collaborating with Greening Australia to establish biodiversity corridors. These efforts are complemented by adoption of rotational cell grazing and by the use of reference benchmarks sourced from nearby roadside reserves close to the Gordon River. Collectively, these initiatives reflect a long-term commitment to improving soil condition, supporting biodiversity, and transitioning the land from plantation legacy impacts to a productive and ecologically resilient sheep-grazing system.
