NSPNR was pleased to take part in the celebrations marking the Gnowangerup Town Hall’s centenary at the Heritage Hall Fair on Sunday, 14th April. We were delighted to be involved and to showcase NSPNR’s mission of ‘promoting healthy and productive landscapes that support prosperous communities and businesses across our catchment area’ and we commend the organisers on a great community event.

At our stall, our project officer Laura Page displayed NSPNR’s cat trap, Eco Kids Party Pack, a pottiputki, a kidney basket, and various publications, including the NSPNR native planting guide and a flyer about our Expanded predator control program in the Fitz-Stirling Corridor project . We also exhibited a variety of native plants from the Gnowangerup Aboriginal Corporation’s nursery, such as pincushion hakeas, brown’s banksia, sweet hakea, and old man saltbush.

We received queries on topics including quondong trees, invasive species, protective vegetation fencing, tree planting, re-vegetation, and fox baiting, among other interesting subjects from members and local residents. We were pleased to welcome new members, particularly from the western area of our catchment, who joined both our organisation and our new WhatsApp group.

A big thank you to Laura for representing NSPNR, and for comittee members Bec and Peter for adding support.
