What is Conservation Week?

Conservation Week is the largest community focused environmental event in Western Australia that celebrates WA's unique environment and promotes action towards building a sustainable future.

The aim of Conservation Week is to highlight issues facing the environment in WA and to celebrate the work of conservation organisations, community groups and individuals all across the State.

It's a great opportunity to showcase your group or organisation and the fantastic work local communities are doing to protect the environment and communicate the importance of environmental protection.

As with previous years, community groups, environmental organisations, schools, local business and individuals are invited to participate by registering an event already happening during the week or consider organising a special event to communicate the importance of the environment.
