ReWild Perth
In partnership with Perth NRMopens in a new window and the Perth South West Metropolitan Allianceopens in a new window, we're encouraging Rockingham residents to bring back biodiversity into urban spaces through the ReWild Perth opens in a new windowProgram to "Bring Nature Home".
Bringing back biodiversity can be as simple as adding a water source, choosing a few native plants that provide food and shelter for our native animals or creating artificial homes for birds, mammals, frogs and insects.
ReWild is operated by Perth NRM, a for-purpose organisation in the natural resource management (NRM) sector which collaborates with governments and other organisations to deliver solutions to environmental issues. ReWild is being delivered across local governments in the Perth South-West Metropolitan Alliance to ensure we can all deliver the same objectives through our region.
Our involvement in ReWild Perth is one of the many initiatives designed to encourage community engagement in increasing habitat for wildlife. By participating in this project, we aim to:
- foster a deeper connection between residents and their natural surroundings,
- promote sustainable practices, and
- inspire collective action to protect and enhance local ecosystems.
We’ll be running a range of educational workshops to help residents create a vibrant and thriving environment for both wildlife and the community. Find out more about the Program below, when our next workshops are being held and join your neighbours to help rewild Rockingham.
