Wongan Hills Tidy Towns
Our Projects
Tree Planting
Planting roadside trees to increase vegetation.
Landscaping
Landscaping the Wongan Hills Sports Centre entrance to make it more appealing and re-generate growth where the ground was bare.
Roadside Cleanups
Collecting rubbish from arterial roads into town, the streets around Wongan Hills and picnic areas.
Arboretum
Planted in 1963 by the Department of Forestry, the site was one of many trials
throughout the Wheatbelt. The results contributed to understanding the potential of trees within the landscape.
This area, largely forgotten, has regenerated with many beautiful plants, mostly showy in spring. Examples include Sandalwood, Quandong, Grevillea, Hakea, Everlastings and Orchids.
The Wongan Hills Tidy Towns Group started re-planting in 2016. The tree species chosen help to demonstrate the diversity on Western Australian Flora
Location - 2klm South of Wongan Hills Town Centre (The Northam Pithara Road) on the west side.
