Ecologically Sustainable Rangeland Management (ESRM)

Welcome to ESRM

ESRM is an integrated project that aims to streamline delivery of information, R & D, training, investment and funding to pastoral properties and rangelands communities. ESRM works closely with the pastoralist driven groups aimed at developing an ecologically sustainable, profitable and respected pastoral community.

Over the past 18 months ESRM has been working closely with the Gascoyne Catchments Group. In doing so we have established a new level of trust between The Department of Agriculture and Food and the pastoral industry. This trust forms a platform for real change into the future. ESRM has recently been funded by Rangelands NRM WA to deliver projects in the Fortescue and lake MacLeod Catchments under the Federal Governments caring for our Country program.
