Jane Brook Creek Restoration
Mundaring, Dec 14th and 2 other dates
Join us to protect natural habitat by removing invasive Blackberries a weed of "National Significance" due to its ability to quickly take over native vegetation, if not carefully managed. Especially, along riverbanks and creeklines, where it can form dense thickets creating ideal habitat for other invasive species such as Rabbits and Foxes.
You will have the opportunity to enjoy the native flora and fauna of the area, only a short distance away from the beautiful John Forrest National Park while learning some plant identification skills and weed control methods, including hand-pulling and cut & swab depending on the size of the plant.
Restore Our Native Bushland - City of Nedlands
Perth, Dec 18th and 5 other dates
The City of Nedlands features a variety of natural areas and vegetation types from coastal shrublands and grasslands, to inland Jarrah - Banksia woodlands as well as riverine environments along the Swan River containing limestone cliff faces and outcrops. These natural areas provide important habitat and ecological linkages for native flora and fauna as well as offering passive recreation opportunities such as exercise, nature study, photography and bushwalking.
Join us as we assist with seed collection and weed management activities in some beautiful bushland sites.
Swan Canning River Recovery
South Perth, Dec 19th and 34 other dates
The foreshore areas of the City of South Perth are adjacent to the Swan and Canning River and are important ecological links for the movement of fauna from inland reserves to and from the river system. It contains the most extensive wetlands in the lower reaches of the Swan and Canning Rivers, with foreshore vegetation that is not found anywhere else along these rivers. The area provides habitat for over 74 species of land and water birds, including 14 significant bird species, 12 reptiles and 6 amphibian species.
Join our volunteers to assist in weed management activities to improve native vegetation, as well as planting new vegetation to stabilise the river banks and protect areas from erosion. We will be returning to each of these sites over the next three years, allowing our volunteer teams to see the impact and transformation of their efforts.
Enhancing a Heritage Trail: Riffle Day
Boya, December 19th
Join us in the beautiful Perth Hills as we assist with enhancing the Heritage Trail in Boya. This is a unique opportunity to be involved in adding a riffle to one of the waterways which runs along the trail.
Riffles are an important part of riverine habitats as the rocks and debris provide citical protection for many small aquatic invertebrates and assist in aerating the waterway.
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.
Revive Our Wetlands - Murdoch University Wetland
Murdoch, January 7th, 2019
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 storm 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.
We will be assisting the Murdoch Environmental Restoration Group to undertake some handweeding in the Conservation Category Melaleuca Swamp, south of the campus. This pristine wetland has a high conservation value and is surrounded by a large mixture of healthy and disturbed vegetation.
Friends of Point Peron - Cape Peron and Lake Richmond
Peron, January 8th, 2019
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 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.
Coastal Restoration - Northern Beaches
Fremantle, Jan 10th, 2019 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.
We will be at a northern coastal site on this day. 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.
Revive Our Wetlands - Thomsons Lake and Surrounding Bushland
Cockburn, Jan 17th, 2019 and 19 other dates
The City of Cockburn is home to a number of conservation reserves and wetlands, including Thomson’s Lake, a wetland of international significance. Within the Regional Parks there are hundreds of hectares of bushland containing important remnants of low coastal heath and Melaleuca Paperbark dampland communities, as well as banksia and eucalypt woodland. These habitats provide refuge for bandicoots, possums, frogs, turtles, reptiles and a wide variety of bird species.
Come along and assist with planting, invasive weed removal, mulching and green stock management to help protect and restore these sites with high environmental, heritage and recreational value.
Swan Estuaries Reserves Action Group
Alfred Cove, January 21st, 2019
The Swan River Estuary extends approximately 60km from Fremantle to Ellen Brook and 6km up the Canning River to Kent Street Weir. Three special A-Class Reserves have been established over recent years: Pelican Point, in Crawley, Milyu, adjacent to the Kwinana Freeway in South Perth and Alfred Cove, in Melville.
Conservation Volunteers will be working with SERAG to help restore one of these sites. The remnant vegetation provides habitat for local and migrating birds, some of which are either vulnerable or endangered, including the Splendid Fairy Wren and Osprey.
SERAG facilitate restoration projects through the contribution of volunteer work and the mobilization of other community resources to improve the habitats within these reserves.
Coastal Restoration - Southern Beaches
Perth, January 22nd, 2019
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.
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.
