It’s that time of year again – the gloves are on, the seedlings are ready, and all we need is YOU!

This revegetation season, the Leschenault Catchment Council are inviting locals of all ages to roll up their sleeves, dig in, and help bring more native plants back to our beautiful region. Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or just keen to get outdoors and do something good, community planting days are the perfect way to get involved, meet like-minded people, and make a real difference for the environment.

Why native plants? Katrina Zeehandelaar-Adams, LCC’s Biodiversity Program Manager said, “Native vegetation plays a vital role in supporting local biodiversity – from providing homes for birds and insects to helping stabilise our soils and improving water quality. Every plant in the ground brings us one step closer to a healthier ecosystem.”

And let’s be real – the environment needs us. Volunteers like you are the heart and soul of community conservation, and we simply can’t do it without your help!

Here’s where you can join the fun:

• Pelican Point Foreshore – Saturday, 21st June | 9am – 11am, REGISTER HERE

• Collie River Foreshore (Soldiers Park) – Monday, 7th July | 9am – 11am, REGISTER HERE

What’s included?

We’ll bring the tools, guidance, and morning tea – you just bring yourself (and maybe a friend or two!), weather-appropriate clothing, enclosed shoes, a water bottle, and gloves if you’ve got them. These are family-friendly events, perfect for kids to get involved and learn about conservation and community stewardship. Registration is easy and helps us plan for the day, send out location details and updates, and make sure we’ve got enough morning tea to go around.
