Friends of Lake Claremont - Summer 2026

Whether you’re interested in conservation, sustainability, wildlife, or simply want to do something meaningful outside of uni, this is a great opportunity to get involved with a passionate local community and connect with other young people interested in environmental action. Get outdoors, meet like-minded young people, and make a real impact restoring one of Perth’s most unique urban wetlands at the Friends of Lake Claremont (FOLC) Busy Bee, focused on habitat restoration, native revegetation and supporting Lake Claremont — one of Australia’s largest urban wetland restoration projects.
