City of Rockingham - Shoalwater Bay
Shoalwater, Aug 1st and 1 other date
The coastal reserves of the Perth metropolitan area are under immense pressure from urban development and increasing population growth. This project focuses on one such area at Shoalwater Beach which falls within a larger project of the City of Rockinghams to increase biodiversity and habitat values within the coastal reserves of the whole Shoalwater Bay. This area is known quenda habitat and also hosts the graceful sun moth. There is also an abundance of bird life at this reserve including sightings of the southern giant petrel.
The dune system at this site was dominated by weeds such as sea spurge and rose pelagonium and had limited biodiversity of native species. We will be preparing the site for planting at the beginning of June, planting in July and following up with green stock maintenance in September and October this year to increase the biodiversity and habitat value of this beautiful stretch of coastline.
Connected Communities – Orange Grove Primary School
Orange Grove, 6109, Aug 3rd and 2 other dates
Boral supports Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA) and school communities through the Biodiversity
Schools Program which aims to educate and inspire young Australians to take action for the future of their environment. CVA has been working with schools for many years to help them provide practical learning experiences in the environment for their students and does this by supporting schools with a supervised team of community volunteers. These volunteers provide extra support to allow schools to develop ‘Biodiversity Classrooms’.
Orange Grove Primary School was built on Bickley Brook, a tributary of the Canning River. The primary
school is surrounded by natural bush, which has a great influence on the school.
Come along for the day to help with the heavy lifting and get this project underway for the students to
continue in the future.
Friends of Point Peron - Cape Peron and Lake Richmond
Perth, Aug 6th and 5 other dates
The threat from weeds to Lake Richmond and Cape Peron and their critically endangered ecological communities has grown recently. The unique thrombolites and the sedge community fringing Lake Richmond in particular is at great risk.
Conservation Volunteers will be joining the Friends of Point Peron on alternating Sundays and Saturdays to assist the City of Rockingham with invasive weed removal, track maintenance and debris collection. Learn a bit about the ecology of the Lake and our regional park and what’s been done to look after it by the council and the Department of Parks and Wildlife.
Wetland Restoration - Lake Claremont
Swanbourne, Aug 7th and 4 other dates
Conservation Volunteers in conjunction with the Friends of Lake Claremont have ‘Adopted a Spot’ at this beautiful site. We have been busy planting thousands of seedlings at Lake Claremont for the last couple of years and as we come out of the winter months we will be back here once a month to support the seedlings with green stock maintenance and exotic weed removal.
Lesmurdie Falls National Park
Perth, August 8th
Lesmurdie Falls National Park on Perth's Darling Scarp is a popular picnic and bushwalking destination, boasting a spectacular 50-metre waterfall, wildflower rich hillside heaths and sweeping views of the city below.
Join our team leaders for a day as we assist the local “Friends group” in the removal of exotic invasive species, watering last year’s plantings . These works will help improve the habitat value of the area and protect surrounding bushland from the threat of weed invasion.
Swan Canning River Park Biodiversity Project
Perth, August 9th
The Swan and Canning River catchment system is host to a range of important and unique ecosystems and a diverse range of native and endemic flora and fauna. Rapid population growth and increased urban development in the Swan Canning catchment, has led to a decline in water quality, dwindling water resources and native vegetation.
Biodiversity has become an increasingly important topic over recent years. Having a diverse range of plants and animals in your local area not only makes it a more interesting and beautiful place to live but biodiversity also aids in the natural purification of the air we breathe and water we drink.
Perth’s wetlands and catchments are valuable natural assets because they provide habitat for aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna, and support biodiversity and threatened species. They drain land, transport and store water, and carry flood waters. Wetlands influence the water quality of rivers and streams by removing pollutants such as sediments, nutrients, organic and inorganic matter and some pathogens.
This week, we will be at various locations within the Swan Canning catchment. Join our team leaders for a day out in the environment as we help out with mulching, green stock management, invasive weed removal and much more.
Please note that locations will be confirmed closer to the date.
Wetland Restoration - Baigup Wetlands
Baigup, August 10th
Located within the City of Bayswater, Baigup Wetland is a significant remnant parcel of bushland, which forms part of the 'Swan River Flood Plain'. As part of our ongoing conservation activities at Baigup, we will be removing exotic weed species to restrict seed germination, as well as general suppression and to improve soil quality.
Our aim is to see Baigup Wetland protected and preserved into the future as a valuable natural resource for wildlife, for the health of the Swan River, and for human recreation, wellbeing and education.
Coastal Restoration
Perth, Aug 14th and 4 other dates
Perth is home to some of the most pristine beaches in the world. With their crystal clear turquoise waters and clean white sand, our beaches attract crowds of thousands over the summer months. But with increased urban developments, our iconic locations are now under threat from invasion of weed species, decline of native plants and severe erosion from tides, storms and uncontrolled public access.
Conservation Volunteers’ Coastal Guardians is addressing threats to priority hotspots of the West Australian coastline. This program assists in reducing the impact of erosion by revegetating damaged dune systems at important coastal sites, supporting land managers and community groups in the delivery of their coastal management plans, reducing the impacts of marine debris via collection and removal from Western Australian beaches and in educating and enthusing communities about protecting our precious coastlines.
We will be at various northern and southern coastal sites for these days. Join our team leaders for a day out at the beach as we help out with invasive weed removal, green stock management, marine debris surveys and much more.
Please note that locations will be confirmed closer to the date.
