Ron Goodhill and Laura Black have a property in Moorine Rock in the Eastern Wheatbelt.

Bronwyn Humphreys and Peter Halliday contacted the Wheatbelt Natural Resource Management Inc (WNRM) to see how they could help with their dream of turning their paddock into a forest.

Recent sightings of rainbow lorikeets in Wheatbelt towns have confirmed that this invasive pest is making its way east and vigilance is needed if we are to ensure it doesn’t get established and cause even more damage to our unique Wheatbelt environment.

Last week we were excited to have the Western Power Depot at Narrogin donate and install some power poles for us to hold our raptor platforms.
