23.01.2022 WA is about to become the new leader in Australia's fight against killer ocean plastic! We congratulate Stephen Dawson MLC and the McGowan Government on their a...mbitious plan to ban single-use plastics and save our ocean wildlife. In the first stage (2020 to 2023), the state will ban plastic plates, cutlery, stirrers, straws, thick plastic bags, polystyrene food containers, and helium balloon releases. In the second stage (2024-2026), the state will ban single-use plastic barrier/produce bags, microbeads, polystyrene packaging, cotton buds with plastic shafts and oxo-degradable plastics. Yet plastic pollution is increasing at an alarming rate. Every day we wait more dolphins, whales and seabirds are dying. We urge the government not to wait - bring in a ban in 2021 and help us save more animal lives.

18.01.2022 KIWARRAK STATE FOREST RE-OPENING It’s almost a year since the Hillville Road Fire raced through Kiwarrak state forest & surrounds on 7 Nov 2019. There’s been a... great deal of work making roads safe & work is continuing on rebuilding bridges. The water station program providing initial relief to parched fauna has grown into a program of installing nesting boxes in partnership with FAWNA NSW INC. There’s been 100's of volunteer hours spent rebuilding & repairing three community-run permit areas too. Forestry Corp is pleased to re-open the forest to the general public & would love to see you back. The forest is recovering. #firerecovery #resilience #visitnswforest

12.01.2022 This nest box was made and installed by our son in about 2009. It was designed to deter Indian mynas. Yesterday I noticed a lot of leaves protruding from the entrance. Upon climbing the tree and sneaking a look we were very surprised to find a family of gliders.
