Urban Wildlife Conservation Day
About the Program
You will also be helping to restore Westgate Park for urban wildlife by planting native vegetation, which helps combat erosion and creates healthy habitat for local wildlife species. Data obtained during litter collections will help us track litter and stop it at the source. This activity includes a wildlife wander through Westgate Park.

“It was a fun and social day! I enjoyed the opportunity to do an outdoor activity that helped the environment, while getting to know colleagues I don't get to talk to regularly.”
