Blackwood Biosecurity

Blackwood Biosecurity operates across the Blackwood Valley region of Western Australia, covering Bridgetown, Boyup Brook, Balingup, and surrounding shires. This community-based organisation takes a different approach to pest management, it's a not-for-profit Recognised Biosecurity Group endorsed by the Minister for Agriculture under Western Australia's biosecurity legislation. Rather than typical residential pest control, Blackwood Biosecurity coordinates landscape-scale pest and weed management across multiple properties and local government areas. The organisation works directly with landholders and land managers throughout the Blackwood Valley to tackle declared plant and animal pests that threaten the region's agricultural productivity and natural environment. Their work is supported through the Declared Pest Rate under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act, which allows them to coordinate control efforts that individual landowners couldn't manage alone. If you're a landholder in Bridgetown-Greenbushes, Boyup Brook, West Arthur, Donnybrook-Balingup, or nearby areas dealing with declared pests on your property, Blackwood Biosecurity can help coordinate control programs that protect both your land and the broader Blackwood Valley ecosystem. The organisation operates weekdays, bringing together community resources to manage biosecurity threats across this important agricultural region of Western Australia.
