How you can get involved
The community plays a vital role in protecting our native wildlife. You can get involved by:
- joining citizen science projects such as the Spring Quenda Count or the Great Cocky Count
- recording turtle activity using the TurtleSAT app
- reporting feral animal activity via FeralScan, including fox sightings through the FoxScan app, to assist with the City’s annual control program
- supporting quenda recovery by reporting sightings to the City’s Conservation Team on 9405 5000 or by email at conservationmaint@wanneroo.wa.gov.au.
You can also support local wildlife in your daily life by:
- planting local native species in your garden to provide food and shelter for native wildlife
- keeping dogs on a lead and ensuring cats stay within your property
- using rodenticide-free methods to reduce harm to native species
- volunteering as a City Conservation Volunteer or joining your local Friends Group
- driving and cycling with care near bushland, wetlands and reserves.
Together, we can help protect our unique native fauna and ensure they thrive for generations to come.
