| | | | | | Kaya! We are in Birak. This season is also known as the season of the young, as offspring become more independent of their parents. There are still many plants flowering in the corridor, such as Jarrah, Moodjar, Woody Pears, Scholtzias and striking Fringe Lilies (seen above). We wish you well for the holiday season and hope you find time relax, recuperate and appreciate the natural wonders of WA's bushlands. |

| | | | | Dead Pine Stumps at Booyi: Have Your Say! The Norfolk Island Pines at Booyi (corner of Hope Road and Progress Drive) used to be an iconic sight. They were planted over 100 years ago by John Dixon. Sadly, during the Roe 8 clearing they were lopped at about 5 metres and subsequently died. We would like your feedback on what we do in this space, please complete this short survey. | | Form |

| | | | | Rodenticide Impacts This dead Barn Owl illustrates the danger of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) to native fauna. It was found in the Roe 8 corridor, with no injuries evident. This means the most likely cause of death was secondary poisoning by SGARs. To find out more about this issue and safer alternatives, follow the link below. | | Rodenticides |

| | | | | | | | | | A select group of Nyungar kids recently helped to install Cockburn's first Quenda Cabin (aka Bandicoot Bungalow) in the Karak zone. Quendas are very vulnerable to predation in open areas. The cabin will act as a refuge from predators, which are not able to enter. The workshop also touched on caring for country and Heidi Mippy spoke about career pathways in landcare for Nyungar youth. A big thanks to Mitchell Garlett for facilitating this event. We hope to do similar events in the near future. |
