Hands Healing the Land Community Science Conference

Boodja Moort Kaardijin


During this one-day Community Science Conference organised by Rehabilitating Roe 8, Perth NRM, SERCUL and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, speakers from all walks of ecological restoration, natural resource management and environmental education came together and shared their real-life experiences and knowledge with over 100 attendees, giving people a chance to learn, connect and build community.

Land care practitioners, scientists and volunteers discussed how they are making a difference in caring for our unique flora and fauna, learn from traditional owners and build community.
