Climate Action: 20 surveys to collect baseline data on knowledge of climate change and adoption of new tools or strategies. 4 greenhouse gas farm surveys using established methodology were undertaken. And 3km of fencing to protect 27ha of marginal land, and 5ha of native fodder species (saltbush) was established near the Balicup Wetland Suite to protect marginal farming land on private properties to changing climatic conditions.
EPBC Species: Listed as vulnerable, the Western Quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii), or Chuditch, is a carnivorous marsupial similar in size to a small domestic cat. Gillamii identified a significant corridor being Stirling Range National Park to Hamilla Hill to undertake 1200ha feral animal baiting program on private farmland for pest control primarily foxes. In this same location 10ha of weed control was also undertaken to protect the chuditch natural habitat. (Side note: ABC Great Southern reported March 2019 Bush Heritage Australia have spotted a Chuditch or Western Quoll as part of their monitoring program, the first one that’s been seen since monitoring started in the mid 2000’s in the Stirling Range and Fitzgerald River National Parks.)
Aboriginal Farming: Review of 5 existing Indigenous Land Corporation property farm plans (or Aboriginal groups), update and improve based on activities already completed. Collection of 20 surveys on baseline data on knowledge of climate change and adoption of new tools or strategies.
