The Shire of Manjimup recently approved design artwork for the painting of seven bins with a native flora theme within the Northcliffe town centre.
Painting of the bins will begin over the Easter holidays.
Four artists from the Southern Forests and Valleys region have been commissioned by Southern Forest Arts to undertake this public art initiative: Tara Brooks (Manjimup), Alicia Rogerson (Bridgetown), Liz Edmunds (Walpole) and Amara Sinclair-Hill (Northcliffe).
Each bin will celebrate a different plant species endemic to the region that is currently endangered or vulnerable to future threat.
The project has been funded by the Shire of Manjimup, Northcliffe Community Development Group, Regional Arts WA, the State Government of WA and Southern Forest Arts.
All painting are expected to be completed by end of June 2021. For more info visit the Southern Forest Arts website https://southernforestarts.com.au/
