Get involved – Environmental Volunteer Groups
There are many enthusiastic community groups in Canning helping to restore and protect the natural environment.
The City supports a wide range of environmental volunteer groups with a long history of conservation activities within the area. Conservation activities carried out by these groups include:
- weed control
- revegetation
- restoration
- community education
- plant propagation
- seed collection
- bird surveying
- plant watering.
These groups work in their own time and at their own pace. They choose the activities undertaken based on needs, expertise, abilities, time, resources and conservation objectives.
