They worked to make the property ecologically and economically sustainable. Among the issues they dealt with were rising water-tables, soil salinity, over-clearing of land, the value of shelterbelts, and revegetation. Integral to this was a monitoring program, and surveys of the property's indigenous flora and fauna including the identification of threatened species. Doley was keen to facilitate wider scientific studies and field trials on the property. She was a long-term member and active participant in various local naturalists and conservation groups and for nearly 30 years participated in the Western Australia Government's Carnaby's Cockatoo Recovery Team. Doley published a number of papers on the fauna and ecology of Koobabbie. 1965?
