Learn from South West experts at free workshops

Dunsborough and Eagle Bay residents have the chance to roll up their sleeves and take part in two hands-on community workshops focused on woody weed control and native wildlife care.

Held on Saturday, June 28, the Woody Weeds Wildlife events will empower locals to better manage invasive woody weeds on their properties while learning how to support native animals displaced by habitat loss.

Presented in partnership with Cape Naturaliste Conservation Enterprise, weed control expert Rick Ensley, and wildlife carer Suzi Strapp from FAWNA Inc., each free workshop will offer a mix of expert knowledge, hands-on demonstrations and community connection.
