Healthy creeks and waterways have been identified as a key target for ecological repair work in the Link’s Fitz-Stirling area. Little is known about the area’s waterways and almost no data exists. As part of the ‘Knowledge Connections’ project, funded by Lotterywest, Angela Sanders and Paula Deegan have been systematically visiting creeks, including Corackerup and Hegarty Creeks, and starting the work of establishing benchmark data.
