Locals get an exclusive look into Porongurup conservation sites

Locals have celebrated the work done on the Ranges Link Project at a community conservation day at the Twin Creeks Reserve in Porongurup, where they were treated to an exclusive bus tour of Porongurup conservation sites that have been rehabilitated through ongoing funding from Mt Barker Chicken.

This unique event was a rare chance for the community to get a first-hand look at how degraded wildlife sites in the region have flourished thanks to a strong partnership with Mt Barker Chicken and community groups, government and Landcare Australia.

“Mt Barker Chicken is committed to environmental sustainability in the region, and we are very proud to be able to support these crucial projects which will reconnect the ecological areas between the Porongurup and Stirling Ranges”, said Mark Rintoul, General Manager, Mt Barker Chicken.

Mr Rintoul also announced that Mt Barker Chicken would be supporting the Ranges Link Project with a further three years of funding.

The Ranges Link project, which falls within the greater Gondwana Link project, aims to connect bushland along the Kalgan Valley. To date the project has achieved more than 130 km of fencing over the last two years, providing the opportunity to re-establish native vegetation on more than 50 hectares of degraded land.
