New cockatoo coalition website

A coalition of groups including the Urban Bushland Council of WA has been working hard to try to stop the clearing of cockatoo habitat; that is their bushland, heathlands, wetlands and forest. A website has been created to help.

The Website was launched last Tuesday by Glenn Dewhurst, the Director of the Cockatoo Rescue Centre. It has an online petition which we are asking you to sign. It will be sent to the WA Premier, Colin Barnett and to the Federal Minister for the Environment Tony Burke. Our cockatoos are in crisis and numbers have been declining when compared with a big survey done in 2006.

We want as many people as possible to sign it so please circulate it to your groups and contacts. The site also has the facility to use facebook, twitter and invite a friends option.

Please have a look at the site and take action. http://cockatoosneedyou.org.au

Award of $500 from the CommBank Community Donation Program

15th Oct 2023

Roleybushcare was delighted to receive an award of $500 from the CommBank Community Donation Program. The money will go towards furthering Roleybushcare's mission to protect and preserve our local bush reserves.

Catherine Shaefer from the Armadale branch of the Commonwealth Bank joined us at our regular field day on Sunday to present the cheque in person, which was a thoughtful gesture. Her support and presence on the day exemplifies CommBank's commitment to community engagement and its desire to make a positive impact on local initiatives like ours.

Updates to the Roleybushcare Flora Database

19th Feb 2023

Have you checked out our Roleybushcare Flora Database recently? It is worthwhile having another look because Lee and John have improved the system by adding more search areas.

You can now process a search on botanical family, genus, species, common name, flower colour (for multi-coloured flowers, only one of the
colours need to be added), month of flowering, category of plant (e.g. climber, grass, small shrub, orchid etc), dieback resistance, reserve name and whether it is native to Roleystone/Karragullen or native to area within 5 km of Roleystone/Karragullen.

Have a try, you won't regret it.

Our funding is secure for 2022/2023

20th Sep 2022

Our request for funding for our Group was approved by the Bushcare and Environmental Working Group. The Bushcare Environmental Working
Group (BEWG) is a collective of representatives from the local community who are actively engaged in the protection and rehabilitation of the environment.
BEWG includes representatives from each of the Bushcare volunteer groups that are active within the City’s bushland reserves. Please have a look at the City of Armadale's webpage about environment work click here.

Many thanks to the City of Armadale for continuing to support our efforts. Together we do make a difference.
