Trials and Demonstrations
The trials and demonstrations project will help establish high-quality large and small scale demonstration sites across the Avon River Basin.
Sustainable Industries

Biodiverse Agroforestry Trials
The Biodiverse Agroforestry project ran a 6-month trials program focussed on plantings with both biodiversity and production benefits.
Operations

NRM Regional Strategy
A systems analysis was used to understand the state of the regional environment, with community and scientific expertise engaged to determine community values that would underpin a resilience assessment.
Operations

Youth Engagement
This project aims to involve young people in their own projects to help them increase their connection with the environment and natural resource management issues.

Stormwater Reuse Project
Better management, harvesting and reuse of stormwater can increase resilience and amenity for Wheatbelt communities. By reducing our dependency on drinking water to irrigate town ovals, parks and gardens, we can also decrease management costs.
Sustainable Industries

Soil Health & Nutrient Use Efficiency
This project aims to assist farmers with adopting sustainable farming practices that enhance soil health without compromising yield.
