Woodland Watch Conservation Outcomes: 2000-2005
Conservation outcomes for the Woodland Watch program, undertaken between 2000 and 2005, ranged from new information being taken on board by land managers in managing their bush, to changes in attitude and behaviour.
Reaching agreement is one thing, realising on-ground management change is another. Moving land managers through the voluntary management agreement spectrum from gentlemens' handshakes to long-term legal conservation covenants, takes time.
With over 150 land managers engaged, Woodland Watch has brokered many land manager agreements that aim to protect thousands of hectares of Wheatbelt woodlands.
