Friends Groups

A Friends Group is a team of dedicated community volunteers who help care for local reserves managed by the City of Swan.

By working together, these groups protect and restore natural areas, support local wildlife and help keep our bushland healthy for future generations.

Friends Groups volunteer in their own time and at their own pace, making it easy for people to get involved in caring for their local environment.

Activities you can get involved with include:

  • Planting native trees
  • Removing weeds and rubbish
  • Dieback control
  • Protecting and restoring habitat for native species
  • Creekline restoration.


The City of Swan supports Friends Groups by providing:

  • Environmental and technical advice
  • Training and education
  • Funding and budget assistance
  • Seedlings to plant in the reserve
  • Insurance and safety gear.
