25.01.2022 Reef Life Survey Foundation (RLS) volunteers are undertaking long-term community monitoring of fishes, invertebrates (including coral) and seaweeds at Rottnest Island and Ningaloo Reef. Another valuable State Natural Resource Management Program WA funded project.

24.01.2022 The State NRM Office has moved! The State NRM team is now located at 1 Nash Street, Perth. Our contact numbers have not changed, so you can contact us on the main email, [email protected], or call (08) 6552 2158.

24.01.2022 For the last few months, we at Landcare SJ have been busy monitoring and maintaining artificial cockatoo nesting hollows (Cockatubes) across Serpentine Jarrahda...le, as part of the Serpentine Jarrahdale 'Cockatube' Monitoring and Maintenance Program which is funded through State Natural Resource Management Program WA. Once this project has concluded in the coming months, the data will be shared with BirdLife Western Australia, Western Australian Museum and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation & Attractions One of the highlights from the last few weeks of being in the field was seeing a stunning Marri (Corymbia calophylla) which is an estimated 700 years old! And of course, also seeing all of the views from the top of the Darling Ranges.

24.01.2022 WARNING: Content may be distressing This video is a timely reminder of the impact of cats on our native wildlife. This Short-eared Rock-wallaby was for...aging when it was attacked by a feral cat. The event captured in this footage is not an anomaly - according to Australia's leading scientists, each day more than 3.1 million mammals, like this Rock-wallaby, 1 million birds and 1.7 million reptiles are killed by cats across Australia. Feral cats threaten more than 120 nationally listed species and have been implicated in the extinction of more than 20 mammal species. But work is underway to tackle the impact of cats. The Threatened Species Strategy has ambitious targets to tackle the impact of feral cats, including culling 2 million cats, establishing five feral cat-free islands, and establishing 10 mainland feral cat-free wildlife enclosures. And we're making progress. In the Threatened Species Strategy's Year Three Progress Report, I was pleased to report that feral cat control is estimated to be occurring across 18 million hectares of the Australian landscape. This is reducing the impact on our birds and mammals such as the Western Ground Parrot, Central Rock-rat and the Woylie. We can also all play a role through being responsible pet owners. Conservation is everybody's business and keeping cats indoors will help keep our native species and our cats happy and healthy. To learn more about progress in tackling the impact of feral cats, you can read the Strategy's Year Three Progress Report here: https://www.environment.gov.au//threatened-species-strateg : This video was captured as part of the @NT Department of Environment and Natural Resources Top End regional biodiversity monitoring program.

23.01.2022 We have some preliminary results from the Waychinicup radio-tracking project from Dr Tony Friend & Steph Hill from Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australi...a (DBCA Science)! The left image shows how the bearings from the 4 radio-tracking towers were combined in a computer program called LOCATE to pinpoint the location of an animal. It is 95% probable that the animal's position is within the area enclosed by the red oval. The right image shows the movement of one female #GilbertsPotoroo (the green dots) between the 4 towers (marked with blue flags) over the night of March 12-13. It's great to see the results of the hard work of the 24 volunteers who assisted with this project starting to emerge as maps of the movement of animals! Thanks again to DBCA, everyone who participated and to State Natural Resource Management Program WA for funding for the project. #NationalVolunteerWeek cc Australian Citizen Science Association

21.01.2022 Last Tuesday Augusta upper primary school students returned to their 'Adopt a Spot' for 2019, Turner Caravan Park wetland. Students with the help and co-ordina...tion of Gudrun and the Augusta Land and Coastcare volunteers had planted a few hundred plants in winter. Unfortunately quite a few had been inundated or been eaten by kangaroos. There were however many that had survived well. Students monitored the growth of their plants and walked the whole wetland identifying and pulling out weeds. They were also fantastic at spotting and picking up a huge amount of rubbish. At least one large, heavy rubbish bag was removed from the wetland. A great morning's work by the children! Nature Conservation's Adopt a Spot Program is generously funded by the State Natural Resource Management Program WA.

09.01.2022 With our first quarterly fungi survey under our State Natural Resource Management Program WA grant coming up in a week's time, this is a timely article talking ...about the important role played in the environment by mammalian "diggers" searching for a meal of native truffles! These species are now recognised as "ecosystem engineers" for their major role in improving soil health, assisting water penetration and reducing fuel loads. The article focuses on the digging done by the Eastern Barred Bandicoot but also mentions the importance of other digging mammals such as Potoroos and how their loss has resulted in a decline in soil and ecosystem health (and an increase in fuel loads which could result in increased fire risk & severity). Yet another reason (if any were needed) to try to save #GilbertsPotoroo & all the other threatened "diggers". https://theconversation.com/one-little-bandicoot-can-dig-up See more

08.01.2022 Demonstrating collaboration and a commitment to quality Aboriginal engagement, staff from across DPIRD, DBCA and the Natural Resource Management (NRM) community met last week as part of a new initiative for the 2021 State NRM Program. The Traditional Owners’ Reference Group met for the first time this year to ensure that a stronger Aboriginal perspective is considered as part of the assessment process for the Community Stewardship Grants. Learnings from this inaugural meeting will inform an even more robust and Traditional Owner-driven reference group in future years. It was an honour to work with Traditional Owner and Yamatji Man, Kevin Walley, who shared perspectives from his own Country but also provided a broader cultural overview.

Last Sunday (11 August), 167 passionate local residents donned outdoor gear and took to the tools for a morning of tree planting beside Lake Goollelal at Yellagonga Regional Park in the northern suburb of Kingsley, to celebrate and learn about their local patch of national significance.

08.01.2022 With some fantastic helpers from City of Gosnells we built Nesting Islands at Mary Carroll Park Lake in Gosnells. The 'islands' are made from branches that we... cut out of an area we are preparing for planting with native species this year. While birds are roosting and nesting at the lake during Spring, the water levels will have risen to make islands from these piles of branches. The birds will be isolated and protected from the foxes and cats that are frequently wandering around the lake edges eating native wildlife. This projects is funded by State Natural Resource Management Program WA. Friends of Mary Carroll Wetland

06.01.2022 With the State NRM Program providing funding to many worthy environmental projects around the state, it is always heart-warming to hear of our recipients receiving award recognition for their efforts at the national level. At the recent prestigious 2020 Banksia Sustainability Awards hosted by the Banksia Foundation, Millennium Kids were announced as winners in the Community and Charity category (https://banksiafdn.com/2020-winners/), for their work with youth and the communit...y on environmental issues. This follows their announcement as winners of the United Nations Association of Australia WA’s Environmental Action Award in October 2020. The Millennium Kids program encourages their youth members to drive the program, developing ideas for environmental projects, and working each idea through to implementation. The youth are supported by adults who assist with costing projects, seeking funding and providing resources when and where required. The State NRM Program is currently funding Millennium Kids’ Green Lab Youth Citizen Science and Action Program that is now in its second year of a three year program, working with Local Government Authorities and schools to improve the urban canopy to reduce the urban heat effect currently being experienced. Congratulations to the Millennium Kids team on a well-deserved award!
