Dirty Clean Food

Bringing together Noongar knowledge and regenerative farming, this project supported farmers to restore landscapes through large-scale tree planting across the south-west.

The Noongar Land Enterprise Group (NLE), through its Boola Boornap native tree farm, partnered with Dirty Clean Food to supply seedlings for the Regenerative Farmer Tree Project. More than 60,000 native seedlings were delivered to Goodies Farm near Kendenup, where Dale and Penny Goodwin planted over 50 hectares with diverse trees and shrubs.

Since then, four Dirty Clean Food farmers have joined the initiative, establishing almost 200 hectares of new plantings. Farmers such as Warren Pensini led the way, planting 23,000 trees in the first year and a further 11,000 the next.

By combining sustainable agriculture with environmental restoration, the project delivered biodiversity and carbon benefits while strengthening partnerships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous producers to heal country.
