Thank You FRANKLAND CWA
Last year was a very busy and exciting year for our
group. Winning all the main trophies in the Craft
Competition of the southern CWA’s being our biggest
achievement.
This year also promises to be exciting as it will be 60
years since Frankland CWA first began. With this in
mind we are hoping for some new members to join to
keep it going as CWA does achieve a lot behind the
scenes with the Government in legal, health, transport,
road safety, social service assistance, rural issues,
communication and so it goes on.
Would you like to have a say on issues you feel the
Government should be looking into, if so join CWA.
Shelters provided in school yards for children might
seem a small issue but its just one of the things CWA
got the Government to implement.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held at the
Frankland River Hall on Thursday 11 February at
10.00am. Ladies think about joining - love to see you
there.

Thank you to everyone who attended the fire
on our farms at Rocky Gully on the
2nd January 2016.
We are very appreciative of all your efforts
during and after the fire.
Ian and Alanna Higgins
Jim and Pina McCully
We had a messy fire here on our farm in
Mobrup recently, that a lot of Frankland
people attended. As we don’t know all the
people who turned up and gave assistance
we couldn’t begin to contact everyone to
extend our appreciation and thanks. So a
huge thank you to everyone your quick
response and support are greatly
appreciated.
Erin and Kelly
Farewell to Father Brown

New Project Officers Start at
The Blackwood Basin Group The Priority Bittern and Waterbird Biodiversity
Enhancement Project, coordinated by the Blackwood
Basin Group (BBG), has some changes in store.
The four year project, funded by the Australian
Government, aims to create a wetland haven at
Schwenke’s Dam, Greenbushes, to attract critically
endangered waterbirds.
New Project Officers
Two new project officers have joined our team.
Margaret Jakobson and Kristen Mappin recently started
at the Blackwood Basin Group to help continue the
wonderful progress made on the wetlands around
Greenbushes.
Margaret is an Environmental Scientist and
Entomologist who has been working with us as a
volunteer with the macroinvertebrate group for the last
two years. She has experience with working with
community groups to achieve goals such as setting up a
cooperative pest management group and managing a
community run. Margaret says “I am most looking
forward to working with the community in an area that I
am passionate about.”
Kristen has a background in Botany and community
based conservation. She shall be managing the on
ground works of the project such as weed and pest
control, flora surveys and rehabilitation plantings. One
of her first tasks is the development of a cockatoo
workshop and feral fox control programs. Kristen says
“I feel very privileged to have discovered a project that
is local and using my expertise. I am looking forward to
working on the project and developing my knowledge as
the project continues to grow.”
This project is supported by the Blackwood Basin
Group, through funding from the
Australian Government.
