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.
Coastal Guardians - Illuka Foreshore Reserve
Iluka, Nov 21st 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.
Wild Places - City of Melville
Melville, Nov 22nd 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.
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.
Coastal Guardians - Yanchep
Yanchep, November 25th
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.
Join our team leaders for a day on the Yanchep coastline as we help Yanchep Coastcare remove invasive species to reduce erosion and improve habitat, count pollinator species and remove marine debris.

Revive Our Wetlands - Town of Cambridge
City Beach, November 27th
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!
Join our CVA team at Lake Monger as we work to restore the vegetation around the lakes edge through invasive species removal.
Coastal Guardians - City of Cottesloe
Cottesloe, Nov 27th and 2 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 Cottesloe Beach on this day. Join our team leaders for a day out at the beach as we help plant native seedlings and remove invasive species to reduce erosion and improve habitat.
Wild Places - Friends of Attadale Foreshore
Attadale, Nov 28th and 2 other dates
The Friends of Attadale Foreshore Inc is an active and dynamic group of volunteers restoring the beautiful shoreline of the Swan River in Attadale. The group work with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) in the Alfred Cove Marine Park and the adjacent foreshore Nature Reserve along Burke Drive, and with the City of Melville in the Attadale Conservation Reserve (a Bush Forever site). The Alfred Cove Marine Park in the Swan Estuary is internationally significant for its migratory birds, several of which are protected by the CAMBA and JAMBA treaties.
On this project day Conservation Volunteers will be assisting the Friends of Attadale Foreshore in removing invasive species from a riverine bush site.
Coastal Guardians - Port Kennedy
Perth, Dec 2nd and 3 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 - 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.
Wild Places - Swan Canning River Recovery
South Perth, Dec 10th and 1 other date
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.
