Wild Places - City of Fremantle
Fremantle, Oct 24th and 1 other date
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.
Fremantle is well known for its beaches, heritage buildings and bustling markets but did you know that the City of Fremantle is a One Planet Council, focusing on creating places that enable people to live, work and do business within the natural limits of the planet!
Join us as we assist with ongoing efforts to create, conserve and link habitats through revegetation plantings, weed management and sand dune maintenance activities. Leighton and Port Beach are currently focus sites for the City of Fremantle with extensive dune restoration occuring in the area.
Come along and enjoy the company of like-minded people and the knowledge that you are making a positive contribution to our local environment!
Wild Futures - City of Kwinana
Kwinana, Oct 28th and 2 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.

Revive Our Wetlands - City of Cockburn
Cockburn, Oct 31st and 3 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!
Coastal Guardians - Port Kennedy
Perth, Nov 4th and 4 other dates
Fancy a day by the beach? Join the friendly team leaders at Conservation Volunteers and help us to support the amazing work that local Coastcare volunteer groups do. Port Kennedy is one of the few remaining coastal reserves and is under threat from weed invasion and vegetation degradation from erosion and uncontrolled access.
Coastcare groups have been managing the Port Kenendy Foreshore to help with erosion control and rehabilitation to improve the health and habitat of the coastal dunes. Come down for the day and help us plant some native seedlings to revegetate the coastal dune, create habitat and reduce erosion impacts.
Wild Places - Ellis Brook Valley Reserve
Gosnells, November 6th
Ellis Brook Valley, located on Rushton Road in the suburb of Martin, Is recognised as the richest wildflower location in the Perth Metropolitan Area. It has over 500 species of wildflowers in a beautiful hidden valley only minutes from Gosnells Town Centre. Ellis Brook Valley is a rich breeding site and home for many native and visiting birds, including cockatoos, parrots, pardalotes, splendid and wedge-tailed eagles. It is also home to kangaroos, possums, bats and other native wildlife.
On the 5th of November you will be assisting Conservation Volunteers Australia and the City of Gosnells with mulching and pruning around the valley’s picnic areas. These maintenance works are an important part of ensuring that the site remains a safe and welcoming nature-tourism destination for the public.
Coastal Guardians - Illuka Foreshore Reserve
Iluka, Nov 8th and 1 other date
Perths' northern beaches are iconic and recieve 250,000 vistors a year. The natural areas along our coastline have been allowed to degrade considerably over the years with invasion of weed species, decline of native plants and severe erosion from tides, storms and the public.
Conservation volunteers will be assisting the Northern Coastcare groups to regenerate these coastal environments with the planting of local plants, tree guarding, hand weeding, green stock maintenance and general site maintenance.
Eco Beach Turtle Conservation
Broome, Nov 21st and 1 other date
This rewarding turtle conservation project is located in the breathtaking natural surrounds of Western Australia’s Kimberley Coast.
The northern Australian coastline provides an excellent nesting ground for turtles. Flatbacks are the only marine turtle species that is endemic to Australian waters, but much remains unknown about them. Returning to the exact beach at which they were hatched, flatback turtles return to Eco Beach during November – December to nest.
Join us for a week to enjoy close encounters with flatback turtles and contribute through citizen science to our long term research project, recording data on nesting activities. Each morning we will undertake early morning beach patrols looking for new turtle nests and tracks. Then in the evenings a beach walk will occur to search for nesting flatback turtles.
Wild Places - City of Melville
Melville, November 22nd
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.
Revive Our Wetlands - Lake Claremont
Swanbourne, Nov 25th and 1 other date
Conservation Volunteers in conjunction with the Friends of Lake Claremont and the Town of Claremont have planted thousands of seedlings at this beautiful site over the last couple of years. Join us to become part of the story as we support the revegetated areas with green stock maintenance and exotic weed removal.
Lake Claremont has been a multi-use parkland and golf course that has been made a Bush Forever and Conservation Category Wetland site. Due to the impact of clearing the bushland for the golf course, the area has now been targeted for rehabilitation to try and establish a link to surrounding fragmented bushland between Kings Park and the coast. It is an important area for the Carnabys Black Cockatoo who roost and forage in the area.

Wild Places - Swan Estuary Conservation
Alfred Cove, December 3rd
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.
