The Conservation Council of Western Australia says it is deeply concerned about a significant increase in fugitive genetically modified canola crops growing around Williams. The results of a new study released by the council found 62 per cent of the canola plants found along a ten kilometre roadside stretch north of Williams were genetically modified. The council's Nic Dunlop says that is alarming because Williams is renowned as an area free of GM canola.
