Hay Point, Feb 18th and 2 other dates
Up for a rewarding challenge?
Conservation Volunteers has the project for you! This project will include some 'hard yakka' work to rejuvenate a bund wall in Hay Point.

Linking communities to open spaces at the Highbury Aqueduct Reserve
Highbury, Feb 20th and 31 other dates
The Highbury Aqueduct Reserve was first opened in 2013 when an 8 ha trail was created for the public. Since then the reserve now holds more than 24 ha of walking trails and has become very popular with local residents for walking, riding, gardening, exercising and conservation.
Join our volunteer team at this important urban biodiversity corridor to assist with the creation of new trail linkages, which will connect communities to open spaces. These will create greater access for both walkers and riders to the reserve adjacent to the River Torrens, allowing more members of the public to explore the brilliant Highbury Aqueduct.
Taking part in one of our projects will provide a wonderful insight into the efforts that are required for the establishment and maintenance of walking trails. We may also spot Koalas, Echidnas and Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo’s.
Come along and discover this special part of Adelaide that many people do not even know exists!
PLEASE NOTE: It is also possible to meet on-site if that is easier for you, but please contact the office so we can confirm the exact meeting location and time.

Revive Our Wetlands - City of Cockburn
Cockburn, Feb 20th and 16 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!
Wild Places - Swan Canning River Recovery
South Perth, Feb 20th and 24 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.

Vernal Pools
Mawson Lakes, Feb 22nd and 23 other dates
Parafield Airport hosts the last known array of vernal pools within the Adelaide metro area. What are vernal pools? They are temporary pools of water that provide habitat for distinctive plants and animals. Discovered in 2001, they were assessed to be of high wetland value, with significant flora and uncommon aquatic fauna. Prior to their discovery, they were used for agricultural practices and recreational activities - farming, grazing and even a golf driving range!
CVA volunteers have been engaged to help restore this unique site by addressing issues such as weed management and reintroducing local plants.
This is a great opportunity to learn about this rare habitat in the heart of suburbia. Join us on the journey!

Hay Point Foreshore Restoration
Hay Point, Feb 22nd and 12 other dates
Are you looking for a rewarding day out? Conservation Volunteers Australia have the thing for you!
Hay Point Foreshore is a stretch of quiet, sandy beach and luxuriant vegetation overlooking the turquoise waters of the Coral Sea. It is also a critically-endangered ‘beach scrub’ habitat, a remnant of vine forests on coastal sands which once stretched all along the Mackay region’s coastline. Home to many native plants, butterflies, birds and reptiles, it has suffered badly from past clearing and invasion by exotic species and needs some tender care to restore it to its former glory.
We are looking for people passionate about making a difference in the environment and able to lend a hand as we rehabilitate this beautiful area. Activities include planting native plants propagated in the nearby school nursery, maintaining existing plantings and of course some hard yakka handweeding!
