Through funding support from the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC), the Noongar Land Enterprise Group (NLE) strengthened the capacity and efficiency of its Boola Boornap native tree farm.
The grant from ILSC provided more than $270,000 to purchase essential plant and equipment for the development and expansion of NLE’s native tree nursery operations. This included an Urbinati drum seeder imported from Italy, a truck fitted with a custom seedling carrier, a tractor with blade, fork lift and bucket attachments, and a dual-cab 4WD utility.
These assets improved on-ground capability across the enterprise. The tractor allowed for better maintenance of roads and infrastructure, while the utility enabled seed collection activities and supported delivery of NLE’s maintenance contract with Main Roads WA.
The impact of this investment was realised during the 2022 propagation season, when the new equipment increased efficiency, expanded production, and contributed to the long-term sustainability of NLE’s native tree nursery enterprise.
