Jens and Lisa Stephan are the owners of Jaloran, a property situated approximately 20km northeast of Cooma, NSW. Jens and Lisa are in the process of removing barbed wire installed by previous owners as to improve the sanctuary’s safety for native wildlife, and they are also undertaking extensive revegetation efforts in order to stem the erosion and lengthen the vegetated wildlife corridor between the nature reserve and the river.
