Possum Avoidance Training for Dogs

18 hours ago

If you are wondering how to see some of our amazing feathered friends up close without disturbing them, there is a custom-built bird-watching hide right in the centre of Busselton. Many of the birds that visit this area travel very long distances to visit, so if you visit at different times of the year you will see a changing kaleidoscope of colour from the bird-world.The bird hide can be accessed by parking at the Busselton Museum and walking down the laneway beside the museum towards the river. Alternatively, you can park in Taylor Close and follow the path to the bird hide. If you have any of you own shots from the bird-hide, post them in the comments below. Happy bird-watching!#revitalisinggeographewaterways #WaterbirdWednesday #WAEstuaries ... See MoreSee Less

Regional communities working together to restore waterways - Healthy Estuaries

3 days ago

Now that the rains are here, Geographe farmers like the Healy family (pictured) have been getting their hands dirty, undertaking riparian planting and fencing through GeoCatch’s Stream Restoration Project. The project allows grazing farmers to receive funding for installing fences and riparian vegetation and in return, farmers provide the labour to install the fences and planting. And the result? The health of the local waterways improves, new habitat is created for local wildlife and grazing stock are kept safe. All while reducing erosion and increasing nutrient retention on the land. It’s a win-win for everyone!#RevitalisingGeographeWaterways #WAEstuaries #GeoCatch #geographefarmer #sustainableagriculture #farming ... See MoreSee Less
