a well-designed herb spiral, an efficient permaculture garden layout that maximizes space and microclimates for diverse herb cultivation. The spiral design elevates heat- and drought-tolerant herbs like rosemary, thyme, and lavender at the top, where sun exposure and drainage are highest. Moisture-loving herbs like mint, parsley, and lemon balm are positioned lower, where water naturally accumulates. The spiral's orientation—often with the sunnier side facing southwest and the shadier, moisture-retaining side facing northeast—further optimizes growing conditions. The layout includes a range of culinary and medicinal herbs such as oregano, sage, basil, dill, tarragon, chervil, marigold, and chamomile, creating a vibrant, functional garden that supports biodiversity, accessibility, and sustainable planting practices in a compact footprint.

Well, we made it! After 36 hours of travel, we’re in Paris to meet with the UNESCO World Heritage committee!!

We can’t wait to have our first meetings with member countries and delegates tomorrow - but first, some sleep.

We will be here at UNESCO in Paris all week, and we’ll keep you posted on everything that happens, so make sure you follow us now.

We’ve had to come a long way from our Ngurra to fight to protect it. But I will never stop fighting for my family.

End Forest Mining

This is it. The map makes it clear. For the first time in 60 years, West Australians can have our say on Alcoa’s forest mining plans. https://endforestmining.org.au/alcoa

Alcoa—a US company—is already mining our WA Jarrah forests.

And now it wants to expand.

This will have serious long-term permanent impacts.

Alcoa wants to bulldoze 7,500ha of the world's only Jarrah forest. (That's 18 Kings Parks or around 3,500 Optus Stadium playing surfaces, or 60,000 Olympic sized swimming pools.)

This is environmental vandalism, at industrial scale.

The map makes it clear. These plans:
❌ Threaten Boorloo/Perth’s drinking water posed by strip mining activity within Reservoir Protection Zones and broader water catchment areas
❌ Will destroy entire ecosystems and impact local biodiversity
❌ Intersect with the Bibbulmun Track and Munda Biddi Trail and will impact our nature tracks
❌ Will destroy precious habitat for Black Cockatoos, Woylies, and Numbats.
This isn’t abstract. It’s mapped. Measurable. And it's devastating.

We have the world’s only Jarrah forests here in WA.

Instead of bulldozing these forests, WA should be protecting them.

So we need you to speak up.

Be a voice for nature.

These areas of forest will be gone forever if this forest mining expansion goes ahead. Restoration is not possible.

Alcoa’s proposal has now been released for public comment by the WA Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for the next 12 weeks.

We need massive public pressure.

Tens of thousands of voices. Loud and clear.

We need to End Forest Mining expansions.

Add your name to WA Forest Alliance's public submission today.

✍️ https://endforestmining.org.au/alcoa

With many thanks and respect to WA Forest Alliance for sharing this detailed map that shows the current expansion boundaries.
