Wheatbelt Natural Resource Management (WNRM) has recently been honoured with the "Excellence In: For Purpose" award at the prestigious Avon Valley Business Awards 2025.

Over four jam-packed days, delegates from across the country explored a wide range of topics, from the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on future workplaces, to the implementation of the National Soil Monitoring Program, the impact of Corellas on the WA Wheatbelt, carbon management, and monitoring natural diversity, and much more. With so many engaging sessions on offer, choosing which to attend was no easy task!

The Wheatbelt NRM Noongar Boodjar Ranger team have been busy over the past month continuing their important work within the community including preparing the Northam cemetery in the lead up to ANZAC day 2025.

The task is one the Ranger team is proud to be a part of, ensuring those who had served our country are given this small token of remembrance.

We honour those who gave so much to those of us who do grow old in this fantastic country we call home.  May they rest in peace.
