The planting work on Yarrabee got a lot of helpers this week when Wesfarmers brought down a busload of key corporate staff, including CEO Richard Goyder and Corporate Affairs Manager Keith Kessell. The conditions were perfect to give our visitors the full planting experience – freezing cold and relentlessly windy. Nonetheless, nearly 10 000 seedlings went in, and staff saw other restoration work underway, including the direct seeding machinery hard at it. Replanting of the 600 cleared hectares on Yarrabee is in full swing, made possible through Wesfarmers initial contribution to enable land purchase, and Commonwealth Government funding through South Coast NRM for the planting work. Yarrabee is jointly owned by Greening Australia and Bush Heritage Australia, and is a critical property adjoining Stirling Range National Park. This is where the completed Link will eventually connect with the park.
