State funding boost for Herdsman Lake

Staff writerWestern Suburbs Weekly

CONSERVATION initiatives at Herdsman Lake have received State funding.

The Parks and Wildlife Service received three grants totalling almost $22,500 for Herdsman Lake projects – limestone path repairs at the Olive Seymour Boardwalk entrance, rehabilitation and community planting, and interpretive signs at Glendalough open space.

The Herdsman Lake Wildlife Centre/WA Gould League received $1500 to spend on equipment for school group science activities at the Herdsman Lake Wildlife Centre.

Another $1000 grant went to the Herdsman Lake Bird Banding Group for four mist nests to support its survey activities.
