Join the City of Cockburn's journey towards sustainability and environmental conservation by becoming an eco-volunteer. With various programs and initiatives, there are ample opportunities to get involved, make a difference, and connect with nature.

Volunteer with Local Conservation Groups

Do you want to have fun, meet like-minded people and be part of a community group who has a genuine concern for their local environment? Friends-of groups consist of volunteers from the community who help conserve local bush, coastal and wetland areas through a variety of activities such as planting days.

Become a Turtle Tracker

The Turtle Trackers program is dedicated to helping protect our local Snake-Necked Turtle and encourages community members to report turtle sightings in support of scientific research as well as protect nesting turtles. Volunteers are required to commit to regular tracking shifts at local wetlands during the nesting season (September-November). To get involved contact Saving Our Snake-Necked Turtle project.
