WHAT
WE DO
PROGRAMS & PROJECTS.
Avongro has a significant role in improving economic, social
and environmental outcomes for rural communities of Western
Australia. Planting trees and shrubs both commercially and for
biodiversity can make a difference.
We like to party! We bring city and country people together for our family-friendly tree planting festivals, and everyone is invited.

Malleefowl corridor
We’re on a 10-year mission to provide a 25 kilometre vegetated habitat link for the vulnerable malleefowl that inhabit the Gabbin, Narkal and Mulji reserves in WA’s Eastern Wheatbelt.
Gabbin House
The historic Gabbin Boarding house is being transferred to Avongro. We’ll share the space and restoration work with the Gabbin Association. We can’t wait to run events there when it’s restored!
Workshops
Promoting tree crops and revegetation
We enjoy partnering with experts to run workshops in the wheatbelt on topics aimed to help make people’s lives richer, safer, prosperous and sustainable: the Master TreeGrower Course, E-sensual Sandalwood, Heavenly Hectares, Property Planning, Bushfire Preparation, and Eco-retrofitting Your Home.
We want rural communities to profit from revegetation. Our ongoing research into Sheoak (Casuarina obesa) at Aldersyde, Goomalling, and other locations, aims to give farmers info to maximise success of tree crops.
