 For more information & to REGISTER = UBC Volunteer Brunch: Hills to the Coast

Greetings City of Kalamunda’s Mayor Thomas & Deputy Mayor Ritchie!
cc Nature Reserves Preservation Group

A chance to take ‘time out’ and connect with fellow local government representatives/officers, volunteers, experts, state government representatives/officers, as together we acknowledge shared achievements and look ahead to the future of bushcare, including volunteer recruitment and supporting the next generation of carers.

We are also focussing on a proposed ‘Hills to Floodplain Conservation Park’ following the catchment of the Yule Brook, an important waterway that originates as Upper Lesmurdie Falls and empties into the Canning River.  Along the way it feeds the Greater Brixton Street Wetlands – an extraordinary area that contains around half of Greater Perth’s floral species in just 1% of the region.

In anticipation of your company…

About NRPG – Kalamunda Bush Carers

Based in the City of Kalamunda, NRPG is a volunteer community organisation founded in 1989 to preserve our native bushland. In addition, our volunteer Friends groups adopt areas of bushland, and working with the City, remove weed species and in encourage native flora and fauna species back to the areas.

Since its inception, NRPG’s accomplishments include having:

• Saved DOLA bush reserves such as Holly and Wordsworth Way in Kalamunda from residential development.
• Helped develop the City District Conservation Strategy.
• Preserved and regenerated bushland reserves
• The establishment, and participation in the Community Environment and Sustainability Advisory Committee (CESAC)

We continue to be involved with, and make submissions on topics which affect our natural and living environment, including:

• Wildlife corridors
• Clearing and threats to bushland, wetlands, forests and other natural areas
• Climate Change
• Feral animals, cats, weeds, Die-back
• Metropolitan and local strategic plans and developments
• Fire risk management and the ‘fire-weed cycle’ which degrades bushland
• Tree and understorey protection and enhancement in City of Kalamunda
• Working with the City to assist Reserve Friends’ Groups and start new ones, to maintain and revegetate native Reserves  

NRPG Members receive regular updates about our work and related events, invitations to our information presentation evenings to learn and share ideas, and updates from our affiliates including the Conservation Council of WA, Urban Bushland Council and the WA Forest Alliance. Please join us to support our efforts and provide a greater ‘voice’ for our Environment.
