Lake Claremont
Lake Claremont has been a multi-use parkland and golf course that has been made a Bush Forever and Conservation Category Wetland site. Due to the impact of clearing the bushland for the golf course, the area has now been targeted for rehabilitation to try and establish a link to surrounding fragmented bushland between Kings Park, Bold Park and the coast. This is a known roosting site for the endangered Carnaby’s Cockatoo which frequent this corridor in search of food and shelter. Employees will have the opportunity to assist Conservation Volunteers Australia and the Friends of Lake Claremont on our Adopt A Spot program, removing exotic species to protect the native vegetation and to increase the habitat values and biodiversity of the wetland.
What a day looks like
A corporate volunteering day typically runs from around 9:00 am to 3:00 pm (excluding travel time) with morning, afternoon and lunch breaks, however we can tailor an itinerary to suit your individual needs - for example, developing a half-day activity.
We run these days throughout the year and numbers can vary from small groups between 5-10 up to much large group sizes (please ensure you let us know your group size on your application and then we can discuss appropriate locations).
