While our role as WA’s peak umbrella organisation is to directly represent those organisations that are formally affiliated with CCWA, it is also an important part of our role to represent and support the wider community in relation to environment and sustainability issues of state and national significance.
For this reason CCWA has decided to extend a special invitation to community conservation groups and individuals to participate in an exciting agenda of capacity building workshops on Sunday 1 November.
