BHPB Matched Giving Support, where does it go?

Arid Recovery - Wednesday, March 31, 2010
BHP Billiton's Matched Giving Program contributes $10 per hour of volunteer work undertaken by BHPB employees towards the cause of their choice, and also dollar for dollar on many donations given by their employees.  The value of monies raised this quarter by Arid Recovery volunteers through the BHP Billiton's matched giving program is priceless.

This Autumn quarter will have a 'feral focus'.  Funds raised via the Program will help with maintenance of our existing remote monitoring system and feral eradication of the Red Lake Expansion.  March, April and May are the 'golden months' for feral predators as young cats and foxes begin to emerge. Hence it is a crucial time to maintain our feral control programs and monitoring to enhance our knowledge of these amazing but devastating feral predators.

Arid Recovery would like to give special thanks to all the volunteers who have given their time to assist our cause this past quarter, in particular those that assisted with annual trapping, and in this quarter we highlight those involved with feral animal control.

Autumn heralds the return of our Sunset Tours

Arid Recovery - Thursday, March 11, 2010
Now is a great time to join an Arid Recovery Sunset Tour.  Following a long hot summer, these unique guided tours of the Reserve are open for bookings, and the cool clear evenings of Autumn is one of the best times to visit the Reserve.  Abundant summer rain has created a welcome green hue to the landscape and wildflowers are emerging indicating that the long drought of the past few years is abating. During the tour visitors will get a chance to get up close to rarely seen threatened species and their habitats in a naturally wild environment and to view a spectacular outback sunset. Book at the Roxby Downs Visitor Information Centre on 08 8671 2001.
