Denmark Tip Shop Strategy 2016 – 2020

Denmark Tip Shop Strategy 2016 – 2020


The Green Skills Denmark Tip Shop is open for business 7 days a week, Mon – Sat from 12noon – 4pm and Sundays 9 am – 1pm.  Come in and find your treasure or just that piece of building material that you need but don’t want to spend a fortune on.

The Denmark Tip Shop continues to grow from strength to strength, and has a new shed with arts and craft materials and good quality second hand bedding and linens.

And we are always happy to accept any spare Shire of Denmark tip passes, it helps when we have to send Tip Shop’s treasures to landfill because they just don’t sell.

Wetland Restoration

Wetland Restoration

The ecological restoration of wetlands is a key area of expertise and interest for Green Skills.

Numerous on-ground restoration projects and ongoing education and training events have been undertaken by Green Skills Staff, Ecojobs staff, and trainees at wetland sites (weeding, re-vegetation and fencing) on the South Coast and in the Perth metropolitan area.

On the South Coast Green Skills have prepared and implemented wetland restoration plans involving significant fencing and rehabilitation of wetland bushland and corridors on farmland.

All the reports are available in our Resources section.

 

Denmark Wetland Centre

Denmark Wetland Centre

Green Skills has protected and revegetated the Denmark Wetland, on Atkinson Rd and created a Wetlands Education Centre.

Some of the initiatives undertaken:

  • Collaboration with artists to create a bird hide ‘Ornitarium’;
  • Ongoing revegetation with local schools and other groups;
  • Construction of a boardwalk into the paperbark swamp;
  • Installation of dieback hygiene facility; and
  • Installation of new interpretative and directional signage.

The Wetlands continue to be a site for community art projects through Denmark’s Brave New Works festival.

DRD Emerging Leaders

DRD Emerging Leaders

Green Skills partnered with Karrak Consulting in developing and delivering a pilot leadership program for the southern regions of Western Australia in 2015 funded through the WA Department of Regional Development.

16 regional emerging leaders from across different sectors of local communities signed up for the  4 x 3.5 day weekend workshops in York in June, Denmark in July, Dryandra in September and Donnelly River in October.

Participants engaged in private coaching, group action learning, phone sessions and working on their own community projects between the weekend gatherings.

Feedback from the majority of the participants was outstanding and many of them are more fully engaged in initiatives in their own communities with greater confidence in themselves and how to engage others.
