Nature's Fragile Colour Palette

As winter gives way to spring, or Djilba as it’s known in the six-season Noongar calendar, the Margaret River Region transforms in a spectacular way. From delicate orchids and colourful kangaroo paws to wattles, banksias and flowering heath, our landscapes come alive with thousands of native wildflowers. It’s stunning. And it also marks our status as a global biodiversity hotspot, one of the most botanically rich and unique regions on Earth.  But with that, comes the realisation that our biodiversity is under pressure.Host Kellie Tannock talks to local author and wildflower expert, Jane Scott and Chair of Nature Conservation Margaret River Region, Ann Ward to find out how we can enjoy the region's wildflowers with conservation and protection in mind.Thanks for listening and if you've enjoyed this podcast, please share with your family and friends.
