 It was great weather to visit the Albany Fish traps last weekend. Our Senior Project Officer Bruce met up with Harley Coyne and some local artists to talk about the fish traps, Oyster Harbour and our community.
Harley Coyne gave some background to the fish traps project, and then Bruce spoke on the role of Oyster Harbour Catchment Group, relationship between catchment management and water quality, through his engagement with the Healthy Estuaries WA and other programs. This visit was part of an artist's immersion event for the development of Southern Edge Arts production ‘Traps and Ladders - a guide for fish …..and humans’

Bruce Radys, OHCG Senior Project Officer was glad to report, "The potti putkis have been dusted off with revegetation works commencing around the catchment. They have been used for sites in Kendenup, Mt Barker and the Activate tree planting in Takalarup. We still have seedlings left to plant more sites in August, with some infill required on last year's sites due to the dry conditions." We visited Mount Barker Community College on Friday 26th of July for School Tree Day to revegetate a stream restoration site adjacent to the creek. Participating in tree-planting activities can be a fun and educational experience, highlighting sustainable practices that can be implemented on a farm and beyond. We had over 80 planters including high school students and teachers. The site can be seen from the Albany Hwy and students will be able to see the trees they planted grow every time they go past. What a great way for students to see the positive impact they can have on the environment now and into the future. This was made possible through State Government's Healthy Estuaries WA program  |
