Volunteering for the Environment
Volunteering is a rewarding way you can give back to the natural environment, while making friends, learning new skills and most importantly, having fun!
Or you can get involved in a Citizen Science project that suits your interests.
If you want to commit to more regular volunteering, we encourage you to join a community group.
There are plenty out there on offer, from local Friends of Reserves groups to wildlife carers and management committees.
Observe to conserve
Citizen science
More and more, science is relying on the community to help gather data about the natural environment.
We run the Western Ringtail Possum Tally each year. Community members record sightings of possums, helping to increase our knowledge about the number and distribution of possums across the Catchment.
The Tally is a fun and informative way for community members of all ages to engage in science and the conservation of a critically endangered species.
Rewards beyond helping the environment
Join a community group
Joining a community group is a great way to lend your skills to something meaningful, while making new friends. There are many active community groups in the Geographe Bay Catchment that work hard to protect and conserve our natural areas. These groups are essential supporters in our work to care for the Catchment.
