Activities participants will undertake include learning of consultation and engagement with traditional owners, learning about the archaeology of South West Australia, field surveying and monitoring, mapping and navigation, identifying natural and human induced impacts/threats to heritage places, construction of signage, weed control, fencing and erosion control.
Greening Australia Fremantle Fremantle to Bayswater: Educating youth in urban recreational management This project addresses environmental degradation at a number of Bayswater and Fremantle sites. The team will be exposed to recreational access control methods including revegetation activities (propagation, seed collection and site preparation), impact control techniques (installing water bars, trail brushing), plant recognition (through the creation of native and introduced plant species Herbariums), site assessment and remedial actions planning, threat abatement and basic infrastructure construction.
Mission Australia Busselton Shire of Busselton Green Corps Team This project will give a varied range of work experience in the areas of river restoration, wetland revegetation, remnant vegetation management, construction, nursery work, macro-invertebrate sampling and stormwater management. Specific activities include seedling and cutting propagation, re-potting and hygiene practices, weed control, revegetation in coastal dunes, bushland, riparian and wetland areas, fencing, stabilisation of waterways, management of tree decline, formalising walk trails, stormwater management, macro-invertebrate sampling, Western Ringtail Possum habitat assessment and population surveys, seed collection and processing, river health assessment training, and green waste and other rubbish removal from remnant vegetation and wetlands.
Mission Australia Rockingham/Peron Rockingham Nature Reserves: A Quest to Protect & Preserve This project will bring community groups and natural resource management organisations together to achieve vital on-ground environmental improvement. Participants will aim to provide protection of habitat for Critically Endangered Ecological Communities, increase biodiversity of nature reserves and work toward the rehabilitation of the Regional Park system. Activities include propagating seedlings, weeding using manual and chemical means, fencing off areas to prevent unauthorised access, constructing walking trails, installing interpretive signage and assisting with artwork incorporating indigenous cultural symbolism.

Round 51

Project NameService ProviderLocationProject Description
Batavia Coast Green Corps Project Mission Australia Geraldton This Green Corps team will work closely with partner agencies at a number of sites improving sand dune stability, protecting Osprey and other endemic fauna and flora, removing weeds, construction of a 2.1km rabbit proof fence at Point Moore, create a walking trail along the Chapman River to restrict and contain detrimental human impact, and revegetation works at degraded sites at Buller River.
Natural Resource Management in the Leschenault Catchment Mission Australia Bunbury The purpose of this project is to restore the Picton and Kemerton Wetlands to a healthier ecosystem which in turn will assist with larger problems such as salinity and erosion.  Green Corps participants will construct an observation platform at Picton Wetlands, construct livestock exclusion fencing to protect remnant vegetation on the riparian zones in the Lower Brunswick River catchment and undertake revegetation, weed control, seed collection and propagation of seedlings under the guidance of volunteers at the Leschenault Community Nursery.
Fairbridge Heritage and Restoration Project Mission Australia Pinjarra This project builds on existing environmental and community efforts to provide opportunities for practical application of environmental management and heritage conservation at the Fairbridge Village. Fairbridge works with over 186 youth and community organisations throughout Western Australia.

Green Corps participants will learn aggregate path construction including setting out of formwork, installation of signage identifying flora, clearing of weeds and collection of endemic seeds for future propagation. Participants will also gain building and construction skills through involvement in the restoration of the heritage Fairbridge children’s house.

Youth Greening and Growing the Environment - A Kwinana Community Partnership Greening Australia Kwinana This project is the result of the collaboration of six partner agencies which will provide the participants with a wide range of experiences throughout the project.  The participants will undertake rehabilitation and revegetation work in the Spectacles Wetland which was extensively burnt during the recent Christmas and Boxing Day bushfires in Kwinana. Project activities include undertaking nursery work, mulching, rehabilitating bushland and dunes, constructing and installing fencing and pathways to provide increased public access and to enhance the conservation and protection of a wetland ecosystem.
Peeling Back the Peel Harvey Inlet's Environmental Issues Greening Australia Mandurah This project assists with the protection and rehabilitation of priority riparian zones within the Peel Inlet, Harvey Estuary, Lower Serpentine River and lakes system. The Green Corps team will work with Bushcare and other community groups to foster community stewardship. Project activities include undertaking bank stabilisation activities, supporting revegetation through propagation and planting activities, constructing beach access steps and boardwalks and building habitat boxes.
