We are all familiar with the natural beauty of the Salmon gum and York gum woodlands and Heathland with their wildflower display in spring.

These are the things that make our region (region 10) so unique yet so fragile. Our region still has many significant remnants that contain many plants and animals found nowhere else in the world.

One example of one of these is Boyagin-Tutanning reserves in Pingelly where there is a high density of rare and geographically restricted plants. They also contain animal populations of Numbat, Quenda, Woylie Tammar, red-tailed phascogale and Brushtail possum.

With as much as 94% of the regions vegetation cleared, and an increasing number of ferals much of the remaining woodlands containing many of Western Australia's threatened plants and animals are at risk of extinction.

However, there are things we can all do at a local level to help, including revegetation to reconnect remaining patches of bush and feral animal control. For more information see our website and wait for more information in the next enews.
