Protecting South Coast Ecosystems: Recovery, threat abatement and connectivity actions for EPBC listed species.

Improving connectivity and condition of corridor remnant vegetation will address fragmentation to allow improved prospects for animal movement. Fencing of high value vegetation, vegetating key areas, and mitigating dieback will also improve habitat and prevent further fragmentation.

This investment involves private landholders implementing strategic actions to protect the EPBC listed Carnabys cockatoo and Tamar wallaby.

Southern Soils – Best practice for sustainable soils in the South Coast of WA

The Gillamii southern Soils component will establish two demonstration field trials in target locations in the Cranbrook and Tambellup regions in key soil health area of water repellence. Associated workshops, field days, forums and communication activities will engage farming communities in innovative practices to increase skills and knowledge and adopt new behaviours.

Specifically, this project will utilise the two demonstration trials to identify the most effective approach of addressing non-wetting soils to enhance crop growth, carbon sequestration and reduce run-off. In subsequent years, paddock scale strip trials will demonstrate the most effective treatments to land holders.
