Sponsored by Tiwest, the Chittering Landcare Centre opened in 1994 to address land and water degradation issues affecting the Shire of Chittering's and Shire of Gingin's major natural features - the Brockman River catchment and the Ellen Brook Catchment.
The Centre is located on 25 hectares of Tiwest-owned land inside the buffer zone of the Chandala Processing Plant. Tiwest renovated an old farmhouse on the site, providing a small conference room, catering facilities, a resource centre, a nursery and four offices to create the Landcare Centre.
Since the Landcare Centre opened, more than 850,000 trees have been planted, 70 kilometres of waterways have been fenced, ten kilometres of river reaches restored and 200 hectares of remnant vegetation protected.
