Salt is one of Western Australia's number one environmental problem.
Men of the Trees is the name of an organisation which flourishes in Western Australia. In fact Men of the Trees is a movement that could hold the answer to a devastating problem in the West, and in the rest of Australia too, the ruination of the land. Barrie Oldfield has been a branch president of Men of the Trees since 1987, and is indeed a founder member of the organisation. Salt deserts are taking over productive agricultural land at the rate of 100,000 hectares a year. If you live in the UK that's equivalent to losing the area of the Isle of Wight every 20 weeks.
