What a waste!
The largest proportion of the waste thrown out by WA households is made up of green waste - garden and food waste. By reusing/recycling green waste alone, most WA families could cut their contribution to landfill by more than half.
- Waste Wise WA
1. Land for Wildlife can help you to create a "healthy ecosystem" on your property and move towards sustainable landuse.
2. Lawns provide animals with no shade, shelter, or food, and the runoff from fertilizers and pesticides applied to lawns can contaminate wildlife habitats. Instead of cultivating a sea of grass, consider going 'wild', choose native varieties, imitate natural habitats, and provide animal food sources.
3. Fences can be barriers to wildlife, restricting access to food and shelter. If you have a tall fence, create some small gaps along the bottom through which animals can pass.
4. Clean, fresh water is important to wildlife, especially birds, insects, and amphibians. Not all animals can access a tall pedestal birdbath, so consider installing a low, ground-level birdbath or small pond.
Nature Conservation Covenant Program |
|
The Department of Environment and Conservation offers landowners the opportunity to use conservation covenants to protect the nature conservation values of their properties.
Conservation covenants are individually negotiated between the Department and the landowner, and aim to maintain the conservation values of the bushland while allowing for flexibility to reflect the landowner's wishes for the land.
