Award Recognition for WICC (Jan 2010)
Recently the Wilson Inlet Catchment Committee (WICC) was a finalist for the Toshiba Community Group Landcare Award and was announced as winner at the State NRM Conference held in Geraldton. Another successful local nominee at these awards was Bill Hollingworth for the Australian Forest Growers WA Tree Farmer of the Year Award. Well done Bill.

WICC receives $104,655.00 to restore vegetation (September 2009)
The project aims to improve water quality in the Wilson Inlet catchment by erecting fencing to exclude stock, revegetating with local native plants and establishing deep-rooted perenial pastures. Improving the vergetation would provide buffers to reduce nutrient export from the catchment and also stabilise the soil. It will also increase the potential for wildlife to use riparian vegetation as a corridor.
the project will also promote activities to increase landowner awareness of effective nutrient management through soil testing and nutrient management workshops.

WICC wins two awards (April 2008)
The Wilson Inlet Catchment Committee (WICC) were winners of two Landcare awards in 2008:

The Department of Water 'River Rats Living Streams Award' which recognizes the commitment of individuals, groups and communities to work together to protect, rehabilitate and manage drains, creeks, rivers and estuaries
