Wild Places - Swan Estuary Conservation
Alfred Cove, January 21st
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 Guardians - Southern Beaches
Perth, January 22nd
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.
Wild Places - Swan Canning River Recovery
South Perth, Jan 23rd and 31 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.
Wild Places - City of Fremantle
Fremantle, Jan 24th and 8 other dates

Wild Places - Roe 8 Restoration
Perth, Feb 4th and 1 other date
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.
Wetlands not only include lakes with open water but areas of seasonally, intermittently or permanently waterlogged soil. Approximately 25 per cent of the Swan coastal plain between Moore River and Mandurah is classified as wetland.
On this day we will be at a City of Cockburn site 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.
Revive Our Wetlands - City of Cockburn
Cockburn, Feb 7th and 17 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.
