Revive - Swan Canning River Recovery
South Perth, Jan 28th and 34 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.
Revive - Trigg and Sorrento Beaches
Fremantle, January 28th
Perths' northern beaches are iconic and receive 250,000 visitors 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.
Revive - Leighton Beach Dune Restoration
Perth, Jan 29th and 5 other dates
Leighton Beach is a critical coastal ecosystem for native reptiles and birdlife in the Fremantle area. Unfortnately, over the past few years this ecosystem has become severely degraded due to wind erosion and heavy pedestrian foot traffic through the dune system. In 2020 it is our goal to restore this section of the dune system by removing the invasive species which now dominate and revegetating the area with native coastal species to encourage regrowth of native habitat. This is a big job and we need your help to make this happen!

Revive - Swan Estuary Conservation
Alfred Cove, January 31st
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.

Revive - Coastal Restoration at Whitfords Nodes
Hillarys , Feb 6th and 1 other date
The coastal reserve at Whitfords Nodes has been heavily impacted by strong tides and storm surges which have severely eroded the beach and dune system. These erosion events have led to significant losses in biodiversity, invasion of weed species and ongoing accumulation of destabalised sand on the neighboring bike path and grassed area.
In 2020 CVA will be working in partnership with the City of Joondalup and Friends of Sorrento Beach and Marmian Foreshore to restore the dune system at this site through weed removal, brushing, and revegegation.
Green Links - City of Melville
Melville, Feb 10th and 18 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.
Greener Cities - Nedlands coastal and bushland conservation
Perth, February 14th
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 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.
Join us as we assist with seed collection and weed management activities in some beautiful bushland sites.
Beach Cleanup at Challenger Beach
Perth, February 17th
While Microplastics may be tiny, they are a HUGE threat to our marine ecosystems. Millions of marine animals are estimated to die every year from plastic entanglement and congestion. This includes microplastics which build up in the digestive system over time, which causes issues such as starvation, blood poisoning and bioaccumulation in larger predators over time, including humans!
Join us at Challenger Beach as we conduct an AUSMAP microplastic survey which will add to a national dataset on microplastics, helping us find and eliminate their source! We will also be conducting a beach clean-up for larger marine debris which will be recorded for Tangoroa Blue.
Revive - Town of Cottesloe
Cottesloe, February 19th
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.
Rehabilitating Catherines Groyne - CY O'Connor Beach
North Coogee, Mar 4th and 2 other dates

Green Links - Point Peron Planting
Peron, May 4th and 1 other date
The threat from weeds to Lake Richmond and Cape Peron and their critically endangered ecological communities has grown recently. Of particular threat is the invasive Buckthorn species which rapidly overtakes whole ecosystems and wipes out of our native vegetation.
After many weeks of removing and controlling the Buckthorn populations at Point Peron, we are now ready to plant new native seedings which will help to increase the biodiversity of the Point Peron Bushland.
Come and join us for one or more of these planting days as we assist the Friends of Point Peron and the City of Rockingham to conserve this beautiful peninsular.
Greener Cities - Town of East Fremantle
East Fremantle, May 12th
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 East Fremantle encompasses a 3.5km stretch of the Swan River and contains a number of remnant patches of native vegetation which contribute to ongoing efforts to create and link habitats for local fauna in urban areas in Perth's South West.
Conservation Volunteers in partnership with the City of East Fremantle are actively working to create and protect these corridors through revegetation plantings and weed management, as well as supporting river maintenance activities.
Join us in May to help us plant and create these corridors!
