The Peel Harvey Biosecurity Group (PHBG) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to managing declared pests across the Peel-Harvey region of Western Australia. We were established in 2014 following community concerns about escalating infestations of weeds and feral animals.
Through our Pesky Pests education program, we deliver engaging, curriculum-linked activities for Foundation to Year 6 students that explore environmental sustainability, biosecurity, and the differences between native and introduced species. By building awareness of local pest issues and their impacts on biodiversity and agriculture, the program encourages young people to play an active role in protecting the region’s unique natural environment and supporting a sustainable future for both wildlife and primary producers.
