Called Ausark Education Mobilisation, Mrs Jones runs projects at different locations that need assistance throughout Kwinana, Rockingham and Mandurah.

“The aim of the projects is to connect locals to their local environment and wildlife so that they become invested in their health and protection into the future,” she said.

“They can see the impact they can make and know that one pair of hands and one voice can make a difference.”

The first project was at Lake Richmond, Rockingham, and involved putting out bandicoot safe houses and weeding around the lake.

The next project is in January. Visit Ausark Education on Facebook for details.
