Lachlan Valley State Conservation Area is a fairly young reserve, as it was created in July 2010. It is made up of the former Kalyarr State Conservation Area and Booligal Station.
The closest town is Griffith. Lachlan Valley State Conservation Area protects almost 16,000 hectares.
This State Conservation Area protects important habitats for many threatened animal species such as the Superb Parrot, Malleefowl, Pink Cockatoo, and Brown Treecreeper.
It contains areas of Boree woodlands. As these contain Mistletoe, they provide habitat for the threatened Painted Honeyeaterwhich. Mistletoe is a key food for this species.
