Project 05N116-04
Brushwood Industry Development on Saline Land NAP $675,000.00
This project has a regional focus and will grow commercially valued tree crops (Melaleuca’s) on land marginally affected or at a high risk of being effected by salinity. It is envisaged that this project will plant 1,250,000 Melaleuca’s for the Brushwood fencing industry, providing enough resources (raw materials) to enable a processing facility to be built within the region. The project is strategic in character; it will have positive NRM outcomes whilst supplying incentives for participants to continue the rehabilitation of salt effected land. The coppicing nature of the plants used in this project will ensure that returns are provided at regular intervals over a long period of time. It is also a goal of the project to alleviate the pressures of harvesting melaleucas from natural stands within the region. This will be accomplished by planting a ‘critical mass’ to reduce industries dependence on natural stands and to continue investment in ways to reduce the initial costs of plantation establishment, making the tree crop more appealing for farmers to grow.

Envirofund Project 40165
"Drought Action for Woodland Birds"
The landholders within the Midwest Biodiversity Network are keen to see the woodland birds within their region conserved as a matter of priority and as a component of sustainable farmland management, which will result in overall biodiversity conservation outcomes for the Latham region.

Envirofund Project 45150
"Yadgena Brook - Walebing Reserve Protection Project"
This project will begin to restore creeklines to their original condition by erecting fencing and stabilising banks with native trees, shrubs and sedges. Rocks and riffles will be built in the creek to create small pools of water. The project will provide community groups with the understanding and the skills to contribute to biodiversity conservation and sustainable natural resource management and the opportunity to work with technical support officers to gain a better understanding of the creeks in the local area. |

Envirofund Project 45147
"Beermullah Lake Project"
This project will protect remnant vegetation of the Beermullah Lake system from grazing, allowing regeneration to occur and by reseeding original local species, collected from remnants already protected. The project will demonstrate that landcare and farming practices can be achieved whilst the farming operation still remains economically viable. |

Envirofund Project 46010
"Faraway Project"
This project will fence remnant vegetation protecting 139.65 hectares in areas surrounding 12 hectares of threatened fresh water wetlands. It will also revegetate 5 hectares and combined with fencing will create vegetation links within the farm. The protection of remnant vegetation will encourage nesting and feeding habitats in a farming landscape that offers little natural habitat for flora and fauna. |

Carnaby's Cockatoo
In 2001 the Moore Catchment Council was awarded a community grant from the Western Australian Minister for the Environment to examine the value of volunteer efforts at rehabilitation work aimed at improving the conservation status of the bird. More info... |
