Situated between Cunderdin, Merredin and Corrigin sit a small town called Ardath.

The Bodallin Catchment Group was formed to bring farmers within the Yilgarn region together to discuss and trial areas of interest.

Reece Boyne comes from a long line of farmers. In recent years the Boyne’s had seen some of the cropping paddocks being battered by the elements. They knew that replanting trees would be necessary to provide protection from further erosion.

Third generation Quairading farmers Bill and Richard Walker have been trying to improve Yacklin Farm’s soils since they took over the family farm 20 years ago.

In May 2012 the Lego’s organised a bus tour to encapsulate all the revegetation projects in the area.

The Pearse’s project stemmed from a conversation with their local nursery manager, discussing revegetation options and potential grants

Avondale, near Beverley, embarked on this project when the Sandalwood Network was looking for a paddock to get a project going. They wanted to see how a system worked together hosts and sandalwood growing in belts with pastures in the alleys.

Large areas of the south west agricultural region, particularly coastal regions and the north-eastern Wheatbelt, are potentially at risk of wind erosion. The incorporation of perennials into these farming systems plays a large role in the stabilisation of fragile soils.

Rob had received funding in an earlier round from Wheatbelt NRM and was keen to trial this on another part of the farm to see how it went in comparison to the earlier round site.

The Quairading Land Conservation District Committee (LCDC) was formed in 1985 over concerns of salinity and erosion in the district.

Rob and Daniel are fourth-generation farmers who grew up working on the farm since they were old enough to give their dad Vern a hand.

Theo Michael and his family are directors of the Nguna Morrt Aboriginal Corporation, set up to manage Nguna Morrt farm, a small property near Mawson.

Doug Pease runs a mixed farming enterprise in Wyalkatchem and recently has been interested in growing summer active pastures and improving the pasture phase in his rotation by sowing annuals.

Since 1994, Ian and Dianne Haggerty have been implementing a holistic and integrated program of broadacre, dryland cropping of cereal grains; cereal hay crops; and grazing with specially bred sheep for wool and premium grade fat lambs.

Casuarina obesa (Swamp sheoak) is generally promoted as a Landcare option on saline farmland that also has potential as a commercial tree crop across the Avon region.

Clearing of the original farming land began in the Yilgarn in the 1920s and continued into the 1960-70s when the higher, lighter land was cleared.

Approximately ten years ago the Indigenous Land Corporation divested Coobabla Farm in Bakers Hill to the Woolah-Wah Land Aboriginal Corporation and the Hayward family.

The Bodallin Catchment Group is an innovative, community-driven grower group that was formed due to farmers in the area wanting to come together to discuss localised agricultural issues and test practices with on-farm trials.

13 farming families were able to protect 350 hectares of fragile Wodjil soils using 111,880 seedlings and 85 kilograms of locally collected native host seed.
