Canning River Regional Park Volunteers are a small, dedicated group who work within the Canning River Regional Park, mostly between Nicholson Road Bridge in the east and Adenia Lagoon near the western end of the park. Membership is free and is open to all who are registered
as volunteers for the Canning River Regional Park. We would love
your help with any of our activities – as little or as much
time as you can afford! About the Canning River Regional
Park There are picnic areas at Riverton Jetty Reserve, Wilson Park and Masons Landing. A number of pleasant walk trails meander through Eucalyptus rudis woodland, and several lakes provide added interest. It is an area where you are likely to encounter a variety of birds, frogs, turtles, insects and plants. Click here to see images
of the Canning River Regional Park What we do
2007 happenings 21.1.07 Breakfast barbecue and planning meeting at Mason's Landing. 10.2.07 Work Day at Litoria Fenced Site, removing flammable debris. 4.3.07 Clean Up Australia Day – with support from Stocklands Riverton Forum CRRPV members co-ordinated activity at both Masons Landing and Ferndale Park. Numerous bags of rubbish were collected, including large quantities from along the river itself. 24.3.07 Work Day at Morning Glory Site – removal of more weeds and dry material. 21.4.07 Work Day at Urban Forest Site – brush-cutting,
removal of weeds, and relaying of black plastic as weed control.
4.11.07 Bird Survey conducted with 69 species sighted with a total of 1055 individual birds seen. 2006 happenings 23.11.06 CRRP Volunteers searched an area between Masons Landing and Greenfield Street Bridge for feral bee nests. A big area was targeted earlier this year in the hope that our hollow-nesting birds – parrots, ducks, kingfishers and pardalotes – will have a greater choice of nest sites. We have recently gained funding to follow up and extend the work in 2007. 7.10.06 & 8.11.06 Two work days were held at the ‘Morning Glory Site’ in Ferndale. Following treatment of large amounts of Morning Glory, Typha, etc, the dead material was removed and sedges and other plants put in to the area.
22.10.06 A morning walk around Banksia Hill and the Seed Orchard had disappointingly low attendance but an earlier walk, from Masons Landing to the Liege Street Restoration Wetland was well attended. The Liege Street site is looking lush with a large variety of birds making use of the area. Hopefully the river is also benefiting from the nutrients being stripped at the Liege Street area before water enters the river.
