The Department of Environment and Conservation's Urban Nature Program provides technical advice and on-ground support for land managers working to protect, manage and restore bushlands and wetlands in DEC’s Swan Region and beyond.
The Urban Nature program:
- identifies, demonstrates and promotes best practice bushland management
- produces and distributes technical information relating to bushland management
- raises awareness of the values of Perth bushlands and wetlands
- fosters the development of skills through the provision of field days, workshops and training programs.
Urban Nature is based at DEC’s Swan Region office. The primary focus of the program is on regionally significant bushland including Bush Forever sites. We work across tenures with community groups, government officers and private landowners involved in the conservation and management of the region's natural areas.
