Our Arum Lily Blitz is back - and this year there’s also a new app to help in the fight against our region’s worst invasive w**d species 🌿🌱🍀

To kick-start the arum lily control season, we've launched a new mobile phone app called Fieldbook. Anyone who downloads the app can record and upload any arum lily sightings in parks, reserves, bushland, road verges and national parkland across the region to help map infestations and identify priority areas.

Did you know arum lilies are devastating because the species outcompetes native flora, reduces habitat and food availability for wildlife, and replaces native plants with a dense, toxic monoculture? The lilies start appearing in winter and flower in spring.

Now in its 6th year, the Arum Lily Blitz coordinates government agencies, community groups and landholders against the threat of arum lilies, while supplying free herbicide and training to landholders.

Almost 2000 landholders are now signed up to the Blitz and, alongside government agencies and volunteer groups like the Friends of the Cape to Cape Track and Yallingup LCDC, are controlling arum lilies over more than 23,000 hectares in the Margaret River region.

Experienced Nature Conservation biodiversity officer Genevieve Hanran-Smith is back at the helm of the Blitz, and she said the Fieldbook app was a major new tool in the fight against the w**d.

For landholders registered with the Blitz, free herbicide can be collected from the Nature Conservation office as well as from supporting businesses Busselton Ag Services, Dunsborough Rural Supplies, Vasse General Store, Cowaramup Agencies, Karridale Agencies and Augusta True Value Hardware.

The Arum Lily Blitz is funded by the State Natural Resource Management Program WA.

See www.natureconservation.org.au to download the app or register for the Blitz and receive free herbicide, information and resources 👍

Who doesn’t love fresh bread & butter ?

Fresh local made loves of bread delivered daily, oh and don’t forget the fruit loaf 🤤

Best severed with a nice thick layer of butter (in our opinion)

Attention all of our loyal Vasse Store customers.

As of today, we will no longer be supplying fuel.

We will still be trading as normal for all of our other services.

So while you can no longer fill up your car at the shop, we hope to see you soon to fill up on supplies whether it is bread and milk or buying the paper (and a little treat🤫🍫), picking up a parcel through our post office, grabbing some flowers for a loved one or stocking up on bait for your next fishing adventure.

We appreciate all of the support over last 24 years, and we look forward to your continued support into the future.

We know this is a big change, but rest assured that our great service will remain the same.

- Neil, Gloria and the Vasse Store team
