This is a short-term Hooded Plover and Salt Lakes foreshore conservation project based at the Balicup Group of Wetlands, a series of salt lakes to the north of the Cranbrook townsite. Key tasks include, undertaking surveys, register Hooded Plover sightings on Birdlife portals and recommendations to landholders relating to fencing, predator control, islands, revegetation and stock management.

This traditional burial and meeting place is located at the junction of the boundaries of the Minang, Korent and Kaneag Noongar groups on the Yeriminup Road. From 1836 to 1839 a military outpost was established adjacent to the reserve because of tribal fighting.

EPBC Act (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) provides for the listing of nationally threatened native species and ecological communities, native migratory species, and marine species.

Frankland River local Jim Parry has compiled a list of orchids found on Loc 1997 at the Southern entrance to the townsite. This special piece of diverse bush provides a wide variety of native plants and an opportunity for birds and other animals to move across the landscape safely.

Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo is one of two white-tailed black-cockatoos found in South-western Australia. They are found from Kalbarri in the north to Cape Arid in the east. The Carnaby’s generally (though not always) nest in the Wheatbelt. The very similar looking Baudin’s Black Cockatoos are found in the wetter South West, but their ranges overlap in some areas.

This tool can be used to estimate the supplementary feed requirements of a sheep enterprise for a single year. The calculator provides a broad estimate of the feed requirements for a single class of sheep as well as an average feed requirement on a monthly basis to maintain condition in adult sheep and grow weaners at a moderate rate. The tool gives outputs in either a graph or table.

Is an easy and accurate method of estimating the condition or 'nutritional well being' of your sheep flock. It requires an assessment of the amount of muscle and fat covering the backbone and the short ribs of each sheep.

Identification of livestock is required by law under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management (Identification and Movement of Stock and Apiaries) Regulations 2013 [BAM (IMSA) Regulations].

The regulations also require the use of the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS).

Grazing management in winter and spring in South West Western Australia (SW WA) can manipulate the quality, quantity and composition of pasture. These pasture changes can increase livestock feed efficiency and productivity, reduce insect populations and improve pasture persistence.

One of three types of salinity in Western Australia caused where groundwater levels rise, bringing salt accumulated through ‘primary’ salinity process to the surface. This is caused by clearing of perennial vegetation in drier areas, ie. Areas that tend to accumulate salt in the soil profile and groundwater over time.

In Western Australia, rabbits are declared pests of agriculture under the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act 1976. This means landholders are required to control rabbits on their properties. Rabbits have a significant impact on the environment by grazing native plants, particularly on threatened plants and communities, and competing with native animals for food and habitat.

European red fox (Vulpes vulpes), were deliberately released into Victoria in the 1860s for fox-hunting. Unfortunately, is a highly adaptive and mobile predator. When the fox arrived in the south-west in the late 1920s it coincided with a steep decline in the numbers of smaller native mammals.

The Management Plan for the Commercial Harvest of Kangaroos in Western Australia 2019–2023 provides for the commercial harvest of red and western grey kangaroos in accordance with the principles of ecologically sustainable development.

Settlers introduced non-native bird species to help them feel more at home in this isolated corner of the vast Australian continent. These new species meant increased competition for resources with native species.

Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) is caused by the rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), a type of calicivirus which is fatal in non-immune rabbits. There are currently three pathogenic strains of this virus in wild rabbit populations in Australia.

1080 is a naturally occurring compound that is quickly broken down in the environment. Many native animals have developed a high degree of tolerance to 1080 while foxes (and domestic dogs and cats) are very sensitive to the poison. It is colourless, odourless, and tasteless and is therefore easily ingested by companion animals as well as native species.
