GMA Opening Night Event – partnering with Western Mulga

GMA Mid West are proud partners with Western Mulga, a 100% Aboriginal owned and operated Mid-West company,  who assist GMA in preserving, protecting, and restoring country back to its natural state. Since 2022, Western Mulga has assisted GMA in the seed collection program,  facilitating in the successful planting of over 5,000 seedlings at the Port Gregory site.

 

GMA are thrilled to sit alongside Western Mulga at this year’s Shore Leave festival, giving guests an opportunity to plant, nurture, and grow their very own seedling as a reminder of the importance of rehabilitation and protecting our natural vegetation for the now, and future generations to come.
