As temperatures in Western Australia reach record highs, revegetation efforts led by the Moore Catchment Council (MCC) are becoming essential in combating climate challenges. Community Landcare Coordinator Rachel Walmsley conducts experiments demonstrating the cooling effects of trees.

This year, the MCC planted 90,000 seedlings to stabilize soils, improve water quality, and provide habitat for endangered species. Successful projects at Cudoralcarra Lake and Yagalain Farm highlight the tangible benefits of these initiatives, including reduced dust and increased wildlife, particularly for Carnaby's black cockatoos.
