Wheatbelt NRM has secured funding through the Western Australian Government’s State NRM program to support community events under the Red Card for Rabbits and Foxes initiative.

With environmental markets rapidly emerging there are opportunities for genuine transformational change in land-use practices within a drying climate. Wheatbelt NRM are committed to building a foundation of integrity that generates optimum production landscape and nature repair outcomes. The project aims to conduct grower-led research that informs farm business decision-making about whether to participate in environmental market projects, and if so, to determine the most appropriate project and partnership for each farm business.

The pilot ‘Wheatbelt land-use paradigms – navigating new industries in the low carbon and natural capital era’ is supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Climate-Smart Agriculture program under the Natural Heritage Trust.
