“For our Elders” was the theme for #NAIDOC week. I was fortunate enough to join with Winjan Aboriginal Corporation for some dancing, damper, tool making and some yummy stew. @PeelHarveyCC # #peopleworkingtogether
Together with the @ShireofMurray and 150 eager students from local schools around the region, over 3000 seedlings are now in the ground creating corridor linkages & providing habitat for native animals 🌱🦘💦

I have been out and about in our catchment working with Landholders to plan prepare and undertake waterway fencing and revegetation projects ! 5000 stems in the ground this week ! Wooohoo 🌱🌱🌱#HealthyEstuariesWA#peopleworkingtogether@PeelHarveyCC
2000 sedges are now in the ground stabilising riverbanks on the Serpentine thanks to community volunteers 🌱In collab with @WAParksWildlife these sedges will also create habitat for native fauna & help improve water quality 💦🐟

It’s fantastic that Rio Tinto have withdrawn their applications but other mining companies need to follow suit. The WA Govt must create a network of new national parks across the Northern Jarrah Forests. More info here:

We had a lovely morning planting today in between showers 🌧️ creating a wildlife corridor for phascogales, numbats, kangaroos and echidnas #NumbatNeighbourhood@PeelHarveyCC
An update on the oiled birds south of #Perth:
We are using drones to try to find the source of the oil. At least 11 pelicans and one spoonbill have been impacted. Five pelicans have been treated.

There’s a major new threat to the Northern Jarrah Forests. Telupac Holdings has applied for mining exploration tenements across 133,406 ha of high conservation forests. Please send an email to the WA Premier: https://t.co/KteXjuTiLS
