This project will aim to repair some of the ecological damage inflicted by land clearing and unsustainable land management practices through native revegetation and protective fencing, ultimately increasing native flora and fauna biodiversity to this landscape. NSPNR receives frequent requests from local landholders for fencing and revegetation that we are more than often unable to provide. This project will assist NSPNR in meeting these demands giving the organisation opportunities to sufficiently promote future works to the community. This project will partner with the local aboriginal group, Gnowangerup Aboriginal Corporation (GAC), and provide a direct connection between them and local landholders. By providing local provenance seeds and seedlings, as well as sharing local knowledge, the Gnowangerup Aboriginal Corporation will play an integral part in this project.

This project is supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.
In November 2023, NSPNR learnt that we were successful in obtaining a grant from the WA State Government's Natural Resource Management program. The Bilya Classroom project will provide students from three local schools, Borden PS, Ongerup PS & Gnowangerup DHS, with an immersive learning experience and a responsibility to look after their schools’ adopted river site. "Bilya" means river in Noongar. Students will be exposed to hands-on learning, active monitoring, and restoration, and with a strong collaboration with Gnowangerup Aboriginal Corporation, students will understand and respect the local cultural connections. The Bilya Classroom Project will inspire and empower students to take ownership of their local rivers now and into the future. This project will continue to build on the incredible connections we've made with our local schools through our Curriculum Project & further the students’ understanding of our incredible natural surroundings. Both of these projects are supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.

The Community, Carbon and Conservation Project, aims to empower farmers to rehabilitate marginal land, diversify their incomes and conserve biodiversity through native carbon plantings on their farms. The works focus on sequestering carbon through biodiverse native plantings, with an emphasis on grassroots collaboration. Working with a group of progressive farmers, the project aims to restore 550 hectares (ha) of marginal land through biodiverse carbon plantings with ecological restoration industry leader, Threshold Environmental. The project also encompasses 55km of protective fencing for the largescale restoration sites, delivered by Gillamii and North Stirlings Pallinup Natural Resources (NSPNR), funded by the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.
January 2021 - December 2023
This project was a collaboration between Threshold Environmental, the Gillamii Centre, North Stirlings Pallinup Natural Resources, Native Carbon and six farming families. This project was supported in part, by funding from Threshold Environmental and the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.
