OUR ETHOS
Sustainable, Local and Professional.
In all things, we will endeavour to:
-
Research all native species, including common, rare, and endangered ones.
-
Acknowledge and report any non-native species to the best of our abilities.
-
Consult with Noongar landowners, pastoralists, and land carers, and show respect for the areas we plan to visit and share.

Pets can stress flora and fauna, leave scents, and are prohibited by law from entering parks and reserves.

Discourage approaching, touching, or feeding native animals and flora to prevent the spread of diseases unless instructed by the guide.
-
Advise visitors against removing items like wildflowers, seeds, coral, shells, rocks, and fossils from visited areas.

Avoid building rock castles/stacks as these rocks are habitats for many creatures.
-
Preserve the country, gates, equipment, and environment as they were found.

Watch out for small animals on trails or roads; if possible, stop the tour and move groups away from danger.
