Local conservation efforts have been supported around the region with a range of Wheatbelt initiatives receiving funding from the state government.
The Community Stewardship Grants supported 20 projects totalling more than $1.5 million across the agricultural region, including the initiatives in Merredin, Kellerberrin, Nungarin and Mukinbudin.
The Shire of Merredin was the biggest winner in the region with more than $53,000 awarded towards the Recovering Roadside Conservation Values Pilot Project.
One of the Wheatbelt's environmental gems was also given a boost.
The Wadderin Wildlife Reserve and Sanctuary in the Shire of Narembeen received $32,850 toward the sanctuary interpretive pavilion and walk trail.
The proposed interpretive pavilion, with associated walks, will increase the educational profile of the sanctuary, by explaining the animals within the reserve, the flora in and around, the local Njaki-Njaki indigenous relationship to Wadderin and the engineering feat which was the Wadderin Water Catchment Project of the 1920s.
Other agricultural winners included the shires of Kellerberrin, Nungarin and Mukinbudin to enhance and protect remnant vegetation.
Local agricultural region MPs Darren West and Laurie Graham welcomed the allocation of grants worth $7 million state-wide to support community efforts to protect and enhance Western Australia's diverse environment.
Mr West said the grants were part of an ongoing funding commitment to the State Natural Resource Management (NRM) program to boost local efforts to protect, conserve and enhance the valuable local environmental assets.
"Our unique environment in the agricultural region is part of our local identity and a key element of our lifestyle," he said.
"All of these activities being undertaken will provide great benefits for generations to come."
Mr Graham said the organisations did wonderful work in conserving the local environment and ensuring that future generations would be able to experience the picturesque landscapes on our doorstep.
"Our local volunteers and community groups should be commended for their dedication and hard work to maintain biodiversity and sustainability in our local environment," he said.
