How can we learn together to transform gardens into habitat for wildlife? The Turning Gardeners into Conservationists team have recently shared project outcomes with environmental researchers and practitioners both nationally and internationally.

The citizen scientists of our Turning Gardeners into Conservationists have completed more than 11,000 monitoring surveys and spotted an incredible 185 wildlife species visiting their gardens, in just the last 12 months!

Joining forces to improve farm sustainability, 14 intrepid volunteers trekked from Perth and Geraldton to Gabalong with the goal to plant 20,000 native seedlings – or as many as they possibly could!

We're now a full year into wildlife monitoring for the Turning Gardeners Into Conservationists project!

Kaya! Makuru, 'the first rains' and the coldest and wettest time of the year* has certainly arrived! The rains provide a perfect time to get stuck into planting as the natural water source provides a great kick-start for new plants to establish thems

Since 2018, Perth NRM has been delivering 'Living Landscapes: Improving the condition of Threatened Ecological Communities' in the Swan NRM region and working to improve the resilience of these important ecological areas.

Building sand from construction sites can be contaminated with cement and metal cuttings as well as paint, plastics, rubbish and mulch.

Land clearing for the subdivision and construction of buildings and infrastructure in Western Australia often results in soil and building sand making its way into nearby gutters and drains.

What species of wildlife will use wildlife-friendly garden structures? This is one of the big questions that our Turning Gardeners into Conservationists project is trying to find out!

We are always conscious that the work we do in land and natural resource management has a direct impact on the wildlife that rely on these habitats to survive.

Our citizen scientists continue to amaze us with their backyard discoveries and wildlife-friendly gardening efforts!
