Wild Places - City of Melville
Melville, May 28th and 13 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.

Wild Places - Swan Canning River Recovery
South Perth, May 29th and 5 other dates
The foreshore areas of the City of South Perth are adjacent to the Swan and Canning Rivers and are important ecological corridors aiding the movement of fauna from inland reserves to and from the river system. South Perth 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 in removing invasive plant species to improve the growth of native vegetation. Volunteers will also be planting new vegetation to stabilise the river banks and prevent 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.
Parks and Wildlife - Canning River Regional Park
Cannington, May 30th and 1 other date
Join us for a day of planting in the Canning River Regional Park. The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions started planting here in 2005 as part of a broader restoration project across five key areas. We will be assisting them with infill planting to improve the condition of vegetation along the Canning River foreshore. Planting native seedlings will also increase connectivity between the five sites providing more habitat for our native wildlife.
Wild Futures - City of Kwinana
Kwinana, May 31st and 8 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.
Coastal Guardians - Coast Care
Perth, Jun 4th 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 invasive weed species and severe dune erosion from tides, storms and uncontrolled public access.
We will be assisting local Northern and Southern Coastcare groups to regenerate coastal environments through planting, invasive weed removal and general site maintenance.
Pernod Ricard - Responsib’All Day - staff volunteering
Bibra Lake, June 6th
Please note this day is for Pernod Ricard staff only. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
Bibra Lake provides important biological and ecological functions, including the provision of habitat for native and migratory water birds. It is also a significant cultural site for the Nyoongar peoples, historically used as a semi-permanent campsite, a source of food, water and materials and a site for ceremonial activities. The focus of the project will be constructing vertical gardens from disused pallets which will be donated to community gardens in the Perth Metropolitan area. We will also be participating in an indigenous walking tour around Bibra Lake guided by an aboriginal elder.

Revive Our Wetlands - City of Cockburn
Cockburn, Jun 13th and 10 other dates
Perth’s wetlands and catchments are valuable natural assets, providing habitat for ecologically important aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna. Wetland vegetation also provides an important filtering service, removing pollutants such as nutrients, organic and inorganic matter and some pathogens before the water flows out into our rivers and oceans! Quality wetlands equals quality water all round!
The City of Cockburn covers a large area of the Beeliar Regional Park which encompasses numerous ecologically significant wetlands including Thomsons Lake, Bibra Lake, Little Rush Lake and Yangebup Lake. These wetlands are home to hundreds of native flora and fauna species including the threatened Carnaby’s Cockatoo.
Conservation Volunteers have partnered with the City of Cockburn to help conserve these areas through invasive weed management, green stock maintenance, revegetation planting, fencing and species surveys. Join us in protecting these significant wetlands right on our back doorstep!

Come down for the day and help us plant some native seedlings to revegetate the coastal dune, create habitat and reduce erosion impacts.
Living Heritage - Fremantle Prison
Fremantle, July 8th
The Fremantle Prison is WA's only world heritage-listed building and is the most intact of all Australian convict sites. Built by convicts in the 1850s, Fremantle Prison was used as place of incarceration for 136 years before being decommissioned as an operating maximum security goal in 1991.
