Fact File

🦘 By reconnecting and restoring fragmented woodland, the Corridor will provide habitat for threatened flora and fauna.

🌽 More than 90% of the current planting area was cleared during the 20th century to allow for the farming of crops and livestock.

🪃 The project can positively contribute to mental health and wellbeing of Indigenous communities in Southwest Australia, by ensuring a continued protection of culturally significant heritage sites.

About this Project
The Problem

The mid-west region of Western Australia has experienced significant environmental degradation due to the clearing of natural vegetation for agricultural use since the early 20th century. This loss of native habitat has disrupted biodiversity corridors and diminished the area's ecological integrity.

The Solution

The project aims to restore these vital biodiversity corridors by establishing native vegetation that connects existing natural remnant areas. Since 2008, the project has introduced about 40 different native species of trees and shrubs across seven properties, legally set aside for long-term carbon sequestration. This effort not only aims to return the landscape to its natural condition but also delivers substantial socio-economic and environmental benefits to local and regional communities.
