Main street chat provides free trees for residents

Healthy Environments

Wheatbelt NRM has been very busy over the last couple of weeks visiting a number of Wheatbelt towns to chat to people and provide free trees to residents.

We have been to Beacon, Kellerberrin, Kulin, Lake Grace, Narembeen and Quairading and given away over 1000 seedlings and chatted to 170 people.

It’s been a great opportunity to talk about the Eucalypt Woodlands of the WA Wheatbelt and assist people to identify this threatened community on their own property as well as sharing what action they can take to help look after them into the future.

Malleefowl have been on the agenda as well and we have launched an online survey and we are asking people to report any sightings of birds and mounds so we can investigate how we can help these iconic Wheatbelt residents.

These Free Trees events were also a great opportunity for the Noongar Budjar Rangers to hit the road and share their knowledge and enthusiasm with the community.

Thank you to the local CRCs and Shires for spreading the word and welcoming us to their town.

This Friday (4 October) we will be set up outside our building at 269 Fitzgerald Street from 11.00 am for our last event for this year.

If you have seen malleefowl in your travels around the Wheatbelt report your sightings here www.wheatbeltnrm.org.au/what-we-do/healthy-environments/malleefowl-%E2%80%93-pick-litter

Open the camera on your phone, focus on the QR code and either open in your browser or download the Survey123 field app.

Then answer a couple of questions to help us increase our knowledge of where these birds are.
