interest. The community benefits from volunteer programs through the added level of environmental
management, and an improved level of services in the form of information and education.
Areas where volunteers can be of assistance in Dryandra include:
- as campground hosts;
- interpretation and education programs;
- weed control; and
- research and monitoring programs.
ISSUES
• Potential exists for community involvement in the implementation of this Plan. This involvement
may range from monitoring and research to assistance with interpretation programs.
• CALM supports voluntary activities which contribute to achieving nature conservation and land
management objectives, and which build community awareness, understanding and commitment
to these objectives.
• Government agencies whose influence extends up to the boundaries or into Dryandra must
recognise they can play an important role in the protection of Dryandra's environment.
• Rationalisation of the Woodland boundaries is an important step towards alleviating problems
caused by Dryandra's high boundary-to-area ratio (see Section 2. Land Tenure).
• On-going liaison between CALM and local communities is essential.
OBJECTIVE
• Co-ordinate management of Dryandra with that of adjoining lands.
• Encourage and facilitate community involvement in the implementation of this Management
Plan.
STRATEGIES
1. Liaise with adjoining landowners, Land Conservation District Committees, local authorities and
Government departments to ensure that, as far as possible, land management is integrated
across the landscape.
2. Promote on-going liaison with the Bush Fires Board, local Bush Fire Control Officers and
volunteer brigades.
