Greening the Great Southern
Period: 2024 - 2025
Funding Body: Landcare Australia
Funds: $17,600.00
Project Officers: Ashley Marjoram
Summary
Gillamii will collaborate with the local community, catchment groups, and shires to establish seedlings and promote environmental sustainability in the region. In collaboration with legacy funding donated by a retired local farmer facilitated through Regional Development Australia (RDA Great Southern Branch), this project aims to plant 20,500 seedlings across the Kent-Frankland region.
Together the Greening the Great Southern initiative honors this legacy through the power of landholder stewardship, contributing to the much-needed restoration and improvement of marginal lands in the Great Southern region.

Maintain, protect, and enhance natural assets within the Kent-Frankland sub-region.
Conserve and recover biodiversity within the Forest-Stirlings corridor, creating linkages of vegetative corridors across our landscape.
Build resilience into the farming enterprise by encouraging key elements of sustainable agriculture such as waterlogging and salinity management and greater landscape ecosystem function.
Encourage and support landholder environmental stewardship.
