The 2015 Toodyay BioBlitz was the tenth BioBlitz held in the Wheatbelt and was jointly organised by Wheatbelt NRM and the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club. The collaborative, community-based, biological survey was held over 24 hours during the 12-13 September 2015 at four private properties on the Bindoon-Dewars Pool Road in the Shire of Toodyay, totalling almost 360 hectares of remnant vegetation and farmland. Surveys were also conducted in the adjacent Julimar State Forest. Professional and amateur biologists, ecologists and naturalists worked together as ‘citizen scientists’, conducting fieldwork with local community members and participants from across the South West, to discover more about this area’s high conservation value bushland and biodiversity.

Trapdoor Spiders belong to an ancient group of spiders called Mygalomorphae. Some of the largest, most poisonous and most aggressive belong to this sub-order. They are largely nocturnal feeders and maters andare very hardy creatures. When prey is scarce, adult Myglamorphs have been known to fast for over a year.

More than 23,000 wetlands of various types and sizes have been mapped in the Avon region during the past few years. These were highly valued by the original inhabitants of the region as well as early European settlers. Aside from being places of great beauty and an integral part of southwest ecosystems, they were also sources of food and provided water for stock.

This helpful fact sheet helps explain to landholders how to control feral pests, like foxes and cats, using cage traps in native remnant bushland on their property.

This publication is designed to assist land manager to identify the different vegetation and soil types that make up the Central and Eastern Wheatbelt. It is a comprehensive resource to help decide the most suitable species when planning biodiverse revegetation in this region.

The 2016 Tarin Rock BioBlitz was the eleventh BioBlitz held in the Wheatbelt and was jointly organised by Wheatbelt NRM and the Dumbleyung Landcare Zone.

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.

To speak a language, you need to know not just a list of words, but also an understanding of how to put them together into sentences, as well as the right form of the word to convey the meaning you intend. In English, you need to know that the subject goes before the verb and the object follows it. If you change the order of the words, a different meaning will result.

The Stormwater Reuse Project aimed to reduce water pressure in the Wheatbelt by improving stormwater capture, storage, and distribution in various towns.

Wheatbelt NRM's Innovate RAP aims to strengthen relationships, empower staff, and implement innovative strategies to achieve reconciliation outcomes. By understanding its role and fostering collaboration, Wheatbelt NRM will contribute to a more inclusive future.

Healthy soils are vital for our environment, economy, and health. The National Soil Strategy outlines a 20-year plan to protect and restore Australian soils. By working together, we can ensure a sustainable future for our soil and our nation.
