Urban Nature is based at Parks and Wildlife Service's Swan Region office. The primary focus of the program is on regionally significant bushland including Bush Forever sites. We work across tenures with community groups, government officers and private landowners involved in the conservation and management of the region's natural areas.

Volunteers who care passionately about the environment are vital in managing our natural areas.

Community conservation groups protect and manage our bushlands through raising awareness of biodiversity values and of natural areas in their local community. They acquire funding to undertake on-ground works and manage serious threats making a major contribution to the protection and restoration of our bushlands.
