    Albany & Kojonup Rangers Working together

    Our Rangers worked in partnership with Southern Dirt to plant trees on farm properties in Muradup and Tambellup-West to help with paddocks with salt salinity.  Students from Kojonup District High, Tambellup Primary School and Broomehill Primary School also took part making it a great learning experience for everyone involved

    Cleaning up "The Spring"

    The Rangers did some work on behalf of the Shire at the Spring, cleaning up weeds, removing dead trees, slashing grass and removing Bridal Weed. 

    We are hoping to get the Spring back to its original state to help beautify our country.

    Today it is recognised that the area known as The Kojonup Spring has special spiritual and cultural significance to both Aborioinal and non Aboriginal people ofthe district of Kojonup. In 1999, a special agreement was made, which read: "It is acknowledged that the Aboriginal peo­ple shared the water of the 'Spring" with the first white settlers and it is the wish of the present local Aboriginal people of today to continue sharing the area." The tranquil Spring is now a popular picnic and BBQ area.

    Training - Chainsaw

    The Rangers also went over to Katanning TAFE and completed their chainsaw tickets with lecturer Mike Richardson.

    While it was very daunting and challenging a great day was had by all with plenty of words of encouragement and motivation, and lots of laughs!

    Well done!
