🌱Today is World Environment Day.🌱

We often hear about tree planting targets, but there's a simple problem: If we keep clearing mature trees faster than we can replace them, it's like trying to fill a bath without the plug in.🛀

🌳That's why protecting existing trees has to be part of the solution.

💚Thanks to The West Australian for featuring WATCA in today's World Environment Day special report.

Wow! This is why we do this. 🤩🤩 Bare nothing transformed to native woodland in less than 5 years. This small site was Ed's dream project to fix up in Moora. Previously cropping land, he wanted it back to native trees and shrubs. 2021, we came in with some cash from Iluka, Ian Pulbrook's know how on site prep, and the Yued plantinging crew. Ed has been infilling gaps every year and now its unrecognisable - for the better. The Carnaby's love this planting and smash the corridor of bottlebrush every year. What a great project !! And yes Ed can't wait to plant more this year 🙌
