Native Sandalwood Conservation Briefing and Action Meeting
CCWA invites you to discuss the threats facing one of WA’s most iconic outback trees: native sandalwood.
Join us at this briefing with Peter Robertson from Save Our Sandalwood Network to learn more about what the departments are planning and how conservation groups can help to ensure that, for the first time in nearly 200 years, our beautiful native sandalwood is properly valued and conserved.
Grant opportunity
The Federal Urban Rivers and Catchments Program is part of the government’s Nature Positive agenda and will fund projects to conserve native and threatened species and improve the ecological health of urban waterways. More information can be found here.
Thank you for your continued support of CCWA.
In Solidarity,
Dylan
