Experience the joy of giving back to nature by joining community planting events at Coogee Beach. These mornings are perfect for families looking to engage in meaningful environmental activities while enjoying the fresh coastal air. The Nyungar season of Makuru, when rainfall is abundant, creates ideal conditions for planting native seedlings.
You'll be part of a welcoming group focused on enhancing local habitat and biodiversity within conservation reserves. This is a fantastic opportunity to teach children the importance of environmental stewardship in a hands-on way.
Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or new to community planting, you'll find the experience rewarding and educational.
The planting events run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM on two Saturdays: June 13 and July 18, 2026. Each session involves planting native seedlings and caring for the coastal foreshore.
- June 13 event includes morning tea and lunch generously provided.
- July 18 event includes morning tea.
Participants should expect a possible online safety induction prior to the event day.
Suitable for various age groups, these events encourage family participation and community spirit.
