Restoring Unique Habitats: Patawalonga Creek
Adelaide , Jun 17th and 42 other dates
Patawalonga Creek was once a diverse watercourse running through the Adelaide plains which has now been contained in many places through the suburbs in concrete canals. There is, however, one part that you can still see some of the original Adelaide Plains creekside where now remains a significant remnant of the Swamp Paperbark plant community.
This part of the Patawalonga Creek runs through the grounds of Adelaide Airport and with their support Conservation Volunteers and Friends of Patawalonga Creek have been restoring the creek through seed collecting, native vegetation planting, weed control and surveys. This last little stretch of creek is an important refuge for aquatic life including tortoises, frog and waterbirds. Its’ Melaleuca trees are state heritage listed and there is also little blue bush that you won’t find in many places. The site has had fantastic changes over the years thanks to volunteers and it still needs your help to hold back the pressures of surrounding urbanisation.
Come and join our team of volunteers. It's a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and contribute to improving our environment.
PLEASE NOTE: It is also possible to meet on-site if that is easier for you, but please contact the office so we can confirm the exact meeting location and time.
Wild Futures - City of Kwinana
Kwinana, Jun 17th and 2 other dates
Our Wild Futures Program supports the recovery of threatened species by providing practical on-ground action to conserve Australia’s unique plants and animals in line with approved recovery plans.
The City of Kwinana is dedicated to conserving remnant vegetation and ecological corridors as habitat for the Carnaby's Black Cockatoo and other endangered flora and fauna. Ecological corridors are areas of local native vegetation linking local biodiversity areas, such as remnant bushland and other natural areas. These ecological linkages provide important feeding and roosting sites for the Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo.
Join one or more of our upcoming project days to help plant and protect native vegetation in priority bushland reserves or at coastal foreshore sites.

Wild Places - City of Nedlands
Perth, Jun 17th and 1 other date
Our Wild Places Program conserves, restores, rehabilitates and manages land including land owned by Conservation Volunteers or land owned by the community including parks and reserves.

Community Action in Coochiemudlo Island Conservation
Coochiemudlo Island, Jun 17th and 10 other dates
**Please meet at the office no later than 7:30 as we must be at Amity Trader, Victoria Point by 8:30am to catch the barge***
Coochiemudlo Island forms part of an important environmental network within the RAMSAR listed Moreton Bay and provides habitat for a variety of native terrestrial and marine flora and fauna and contains significant cultural heritage values. Despite ongoing weed control programs, pest plants still remain a widespread problem.
Weed control must be applied in a systematic and sensitive way that ensures weeds are replaced with native species rather than other weeds. Partnering with Coochiemudlo Bushcare and Redland City Council, CVA will use this grant to run 11 community volunteer days on Coochiemudlo Island to remove weed infestations from 1km of coastline and replace them with native plant species to prevent weeds from re-establishing.
This project is a great way to network and gain hands on skills for a career in conservation while making a real difference to our environment.
Remember to wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, enclosed shoes, a hat, sunglasses and please bring your lunch and plenty of water.
CVA Brisbane now has a scheme ID with Containers for Change QLD! You can choose to donate to CVA directly via our scheme ID C10181048 when returning containers at any refund point or you can leave your empties at our office at 333 Bennetts Road, Morningside and we will take them in for you!
Restoring Sir Joseph Banks Park - NSW Ports
Botany, Jun 18th and 1 other date
Sir Joseph Banks Park is a very significant nature reserve on the Botany foreshore. It provides natural habitat for native flora and fauna species and is home to the endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub and many other vulnerable native species. Joining with Bayside Council and NSW Ports, we are there to give it a helping hand and to make it an incredible place to be for the local community, recreation, education and conservation awareness.
Wild Places - City of Melville
Melville, Jun 18th and 5 other dates
Our Wild Places Program conserves, restores, rehabilitates and manages land including land owned by Conservation Volunteers or land owned by the community including parks and reserves. Of particular focus is the conservation of remnant reserves of native vegetation and the ecological corridors which link these reserves, allowing flora and fauna to move between suitable patches of habitat.
The City of Melville manages an 18km foreshore area that is defined by a narrow chain of reserves and natural vegetation. There are also some beautiful bushland reserves away from the river that provide wonderful opportunities to spot wildflowers and enjoy a touch of serenity within the suburbs.
Join our volunteers to assist in removing invasive weed species that threaten the biological diversity, particularly the wildflowers, at various parks and foreshore locations. Plantings will also be undertaken to restore native vegetation in these areas.
ONE REEF – Gully and Stream Bank Erosion control

You Yangs Biodiversity Management
Lara, Jun 18th and 1 other date
The You Yangs, located 55km southwest of the Melbourne, is well known for its distinctive granite peaks that can be seen as a rise in the volcanic plains on the drive between Melbourne and Geelong. The environment in this area needs to be protected from introduced weeds. Join us to combat the boneseed populations currently residing on site, to allow for native indigenous plants to flourish.
Restoring Sugarloaf Point Reserve (sponsored by Ingham's)
Hunters Hill, Jun 18th and 3 other dates
Sugarloaf Point is part of the picturesque Lane Cove National Park which meanders through a peaceful bushland valley extending from Lane Cove through to Pennant Hills. The riparian zones (the land along water courses) are key to maintaining water quality and must be healthy if we are to improve Sydney’s water quality.
Onkaparinga Hills Boneseed Removal
Onkaparinga Hills, Jun 18th and 1 other date
Join us in this project funded by Natural Resources Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges to protect natural habitat by removing invasive Boneseed, a woody-weed that can quickly take over native vegetation if not carefully managed. You will enjoy the native flora and fauna of the Onkaparinga Hills while learning some plant identification skills and weed control methods, including hand-pulling and cut & swab, depending on the size of the plant.
Boneseed is listed as a 'Weed of National Significance' and is often regarded as one of the worst weeds in Australia because of its invasiveness, potential for spread, and its economic and environmental impacts. Join this project and help us tackle this aggressive invader!
PLEASE NOTE: It is also possible to meet on-site if that is easier for you, but please contact the office so we can confirm the exact meeting location and time.
Carrickalinga Beach
Carrickalinga, Jun 18th and 1 other date
Join us at beautiful Carrickalinga Beach and assist to extend the native vegetation of the Normanville dunes, a threatened ecological community. This beach area has a high ecological and recreational value for the local community and tourists, with the reintroduction of native vegetation being important to increase the local biodiversity in an area that is listed with the Australian Heritage Commission and South Australia Heritage.
We will be continuing our work at this site with a follow up to survival counts, removing tree guards and hand weeding to protect the revegation efforts from earlier this year.
