NRM Community Stewardship Grant

---

We’re pleased announce that Friends of Perry Lakes has been successful in securing a Community Stewardship Grant from the Western Australian Government’s State Natural Resource Management (NRM) Program.

This funding supports something many of us have been working towards - a Citizen Science program to better understand and monitor the ecology of Perry Lakes. It builds directly on the volunteer effort, observations and care that our members already contribute, and helps us turn that commitment into a structured, long-term monitoring program.

With this support, over the next 18 months we’ll be able to:

• Train members and volunteers in ecological monitoring
• Collect and share data on water levels, water quality and wildlife
• Improve how we make information available to our community
• Host regular member and community events to learn, monitor and connect

Most importantly, this project strengthens our collective voice by providing credible, shared evidence about how Perry Lakes is changing and what it needs to remain healthy into the future.

If you’re interested in getting more involved - as a Citizen Scientist, event participant or supporter, we’d love you to register your interest via our website or keep an eye on upcoming announcements here.

Thank you to all our members whose ongoing support makes projects like this possible, and to the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program for backing community-led stewardship at Perry Lakes.
