Wheatbelt NRM member, Judd Stead combines traditional bush knowledge, with Western practices to upskill local rangers in the collection of native seeds.
Working with Noongar Boodjar Rangers, the journey began several years ago when Rangers learned how to collect seed from Country, and identify, label, extract and clean it, ready for marketing to the bushland revegetation industry.
This project is a big step towards ensuring the survival of unique Wheatbelt flora and the maintenance and restoration of Country. Currently collecting seeds for state government and carbon company projects, the team hope the demand for seed will to continue to increase over the coming years.
