Get Involved: Protecting the Eucalypt Woodland of WA Wheatbelt and the species that call them home.
This project focuses on the critically endangered Eucalypt Woodlands of the Western Australian Wheatbelt Threatened Ecological Community (TEC), a vital and iconic part of the Wheatbelt landscape. Continued work in partnership with landholders and our community will improve the condition of the Eucalypt Woodland TEC through establishing conservation agreements and implementing priority actions. These include revegetation, stock exclusion fencing, weed control and feral animal management. This project will also trial appropriate fire management techniques to encourage natural regeneration, focusing on wide ranging woodland sub-communities in degraded condition. The secondary focus for this project is identifying Chuditch distribution in priority areas and implementing management actions such as feral animal control and the installation of artificial dens to increase their long-term viability.
How to get involved:
Both landholders and the wider community can let us know where Eucalypt Woodland TEC occurs and what condition it’s in through completing our survey
Whilst we are working on areas of bushland that are expected to be Chuditch habitat, we would also like to record their presence where possible. If you have historical or recent observations of Chuditch in your area, you can complete our survey below.
Become a participating landholder, information below.
