[Q22, Q25]

Own Project | The North Eastern Wheatbelt of Western Australia covers an area of 24,000 square kilometres. The landscape has less than 11% remaining remnant vegetation due to clearing for agriculture. It is a microcosm of the natural resource challenges facing rural Australia. In partnership with Elementree, the seven shires which make up the North Eastern Wheatbelt have embarked upon a 3 year project to prioritise, protect and manage the remaining areas of remnant vegetation. The ‘Corridors Across NEWROC’ project plans to reintroduce over 500,000 local native seedlings to create a series of biodiversity corridors and linkages to assist with the protection of native flora, fauna and ecological communities. Over 100 landholders have participated in the project so far through revegetation, fencing and fox baiting activities. Eligible sites within the target area are revegetated using a mixture of trees and understorey plants at a ratio of one third Eucalyptus, one third Acacia and one third other mixed understorey species. Because of the large geographic area, over 80 different trees, mallee and shrub species are being reintroduced to the landscape. The Corridors Across NEWROC project is a model of vision, planning, science and community participation, that Elementree are proud to support.
