23.01.2022 The La Niña is expected to continue to strengthen and peak in December or January before easing off towards the end of summer. "We will be expecting things to start looking a more classic, La Niña-type rainfall pattern once we get into December or even January," Dr Watkins said.

23.01.2022 https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GillamiiClimate Gillamii is interested in understanding agricultural climate issues in our region and our farmers actions toward mitigating the impacts of seasonal variations or climate change.

22.01.2022 PARNELL’S NURSERY IS FULL And they are NOT taking any more orders. If you wish to order saltbush for 2021 please contact Claudia ASAP on 0429 612 447 and your n...ame may get on a waiting list. Other Nurseries will be contacted but pre orders must be lodged with Claudia ASAP. Wonderful achievement for Parnell’s Nursery, but sadly bad news for Dumbleyung Tree Planters. See more

22.01.2022 It feels like Christmas for Gillamii today!!! The State Government have released successful grant applications for the 2020 Community Stewardship State NRM grants, and Gillamii was successful in obtaining their Collaborative Large Grant "Restoring an Ancient Landscape - Through Community and Carbon" with North Stirlings Pallinup Natural Resources Inc and our Small Grant Flora, Fauna and Farming : Connecting Kids to Country. We are so excited to see that so many of the wonder...ful Grower Groups and Landcare groups in our region were very successful with their applications as well. To read more about the successful applications please click this link https://www.wa.gov.au//2020%20-%20Successful%20Community%2

20.01.2022 If you're heading away these holidays, it's safest to leave your dog at home. We regularly carry out baiting across conservation land around the State to con...trol introduced predators such as foxes and feral cats, and these baits can be very attractive to pets. Baiting is an important part of our wildlife recovery efforts to protect threatened native species. Without the use of baits, the risk of extinction would be increased for many species such as the numbat, woylie, western swamp tortoise and western ground parrot. Find out more about the Western Shield wildlife recovery program and the areas we bait www.pws.dbca.wa.gov.au/westernshield Or to find out you where can take your dog safely, visit www.exploreparks.dbca.wa.gov.au/know/pets-parks

18.01.2022 FOUR out of five Australians back a proposal to use practical environmental projects as an economic stimulus, as the nation recovers from COVID-19. About three-quarters (76%) were concerned about the health of the country's environment, with 74% agreeing economic stimulus funding should be used to help communities and the environment recover from the bushfires and drought.

18.01.2022 AIRLINE PILOTS HEAD BUSH TO WORK International airline pilots are being retrained to operate harvest machinery to help address a shortage of farm workers du...e to strict border restrictions preventing international and interstate labour from entering the state. "We surveyed the WA grain industry and came up with a shortage of over 1,000 machinery operators," agricultural trainer Ley Webster, who typically upskills backpackers and itinerant workers, said. This year Ms Webster has trained nine pilots in operating a combine harvester. All of them have been indefinitely stood down and are adapting to a slower pace in a new cockpit.

18.01.2022 The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development has received recent reports of the weed lesser loosestrife and livestock deaths from annual ryegrass toxicity (ARGT) in the agricultural region. The rainfall has also increased the risk of Barber’s pole, brown stomach and black worms, which could become a problem for weaners and hoggets over summer.

18.01.2022 Developed by the DBCA this Rabbit control wheel may help you in understanding the cycles for effective control.

18.01.2022 Great news today with the release of the McGowan Labor Government's Western Australian Climate Policy, outlining actions to create a low carbon future and creat...e jobs in clean industries to support WA's economic recovery.

17.01.2022 We are proud to be part of this working group, a collaborative effort to start tackling feral cats throughout Albany and surrounding shires. If you have a spare few minutes please do the survey, we want to know what you think - cat owner or not!

15.01.2022 Great opportunity in Denmark, and a brilliant follow on from our Building Fire Resilient Communities Workshop!

14.01.2022 "Our bodies are designed to move ... they are not designed to sit there for 10, 12 or 14 hours a day,"

14.01.2022 RABBITS & MOSQUITO'S This year the Shire of Cranbrook and The Gillamii Centre Inc. are collaborating in an effort to combat the spread of rabbits in the Cranbro...ok, Frankland River and Tenterden town sites. In order for the us to undertake this project we have released a virus that is transmitted through mosquito's, while this virus is harmless to humans it will have an effect and degrade the numbers of feral rabbits. This means that we will not be undertaking our fogging as early as we have done in previous years. The Shire will conduct spasmodic fogging over the coming weeks and will have our fogging program up and running as soon as possible. If you have any queries, please contact the Shire’s Manager of Works or the Shire’s Ranger on 9826 1008

06.01.2022 "This very late season rainfall creates the perfect environment for a beetle population explosion in crop residues. As they run out of green plants, shrub seedlings become the next most attractive option. It’s an uncommon event but can be devastating for establishing shrubs." - Hayley Norman CSIRO
