3. Farmers boost biodiversity in Tarin Rock
Farmers have replanted 180ha of private property with native species at Tarin Rock in the southern Wheatbelt as part of a project to conserve biodiversity in the area.

Parks and Wildlife Wheatbelt Region conservation officer Marissah Kruger said the Tarin Rock Priority Landscape Project had involved more than 60 conservation projects on private property over the past 15 years.

“The Tarin Rock area, which covers 45,000ha, has a wide range of landscapes and remnant vegetation, including woodland, mallee and Kwongan heath, supporting a high diversity of native animals such as malleefowl, Carnaby’s cockatoos and red-tailed phascogales,” she said.

“Local landholders have recognised these natural values, and have revegetated land with native species, while excluding stock to protect existing pockets of remnant vegetation.

“To date, more than 2600 hectares of remnant vegetation on private property has been fenced and protected, and 177 hectares of land has been revegetated with more than 250,000 native plants.”
The project is a collaboration between Tarin Rock farmers and landholders, Parks and Wildlife, the South West Catchments Council, Wheatbelt NRM and Dumbleyung Landcare.

Parks and Wildlife recently awarded farmers with outstanding service awards for their contribution to the project at an event in Kukerin.
