Coastal Restoration - northern suburbs
Fremantle, Aug 28th and 5 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.

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.
Friends of Point Peron - Cape Peron and Lake Richmond

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.
Native Bushland Revegetation - City of Nedlands
Perth, Sep 5th and 2 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.

Stocklands Staff Day - Perth NRM
Mullaloo, September 12th
Perth is home to some of the most pristine beaches in the world. With their clear turquoise waters and bright white sand, our beaches attract crowds of thousands over the summer months. But with increased urban development our iconic beaches are under threat from human induced degradation.
Conservation Volunteers Australia, alongside Perth NRM and coastal community groups such as Friends of Ocean Reef and Iluka Foreshore, are addressing these threats to priority hotspots along Western Australia’s coastlines. Help is needed to improve the environmental quality of these beautiful locations and volunteers can provide vital assistance by undertaking debris removal, plant de-guarding and invasive weed removal and in doing so, help local groups achieve their management plan targets.

City of Rockingham - Shoalwater Bay
Shoalwater, September 19th
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.
Nature's Classroom - West Morley Primary School
Perth, September 21st
As part of our Earth Assist School Program, Conservation Volunteers engages different primary and high schools around Western Australia to teach sustainability and conservation activities both in and out of the classroom. Over the next couple of months we will be visiting different schools that have bushland sites within or adjacent to the school or have sustainability practices in place such as compost heaps and veggie gardens. Volunteers will be helping with activities that are sometimes too large or heavy for students to take part in. West Morley Primary School has a block of bush land that we will be helping to restore. Students will then use the area for science, sports and sustainability classes.
2017 WA Beach Clean Up Day - CY O'Connor Beach
Spearwood, October 14th
Conservation Volunteers have joined forces with Tangaroa Blue for the Annual West Australian Beach Clean Up.
18,000 individual pieces of plastic are estimated to float in every square kilometre of ocean. Over 7 million tons of plastic litter enter the ocean every year - 8 million pieces per day. This is three times as much rubbish as the annual weight of fish caught.
Tangaroa Blue Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation focused on the health of our marine environment, and coordinates the Australian Marine Debris Initiative, an on-ground network of volunteers, communities, organisations and agencies around the country monitoring the impacts of marine debris along their stretch of coastline.
Join us for the day as we survey and collect marine debris along a beautiful stretch of coastline in Coogee. We will be at CY O'Connor Beach today assisting the City of Cockburn.
