Community Conservation Planting Day - Scarborough Beach

The City of Stirling, in partnership with Stirling Natural Environment Coastcare, invites you to join us for a Community Conservation Day along our coastline.

This hands‑on event brings community members together to care for our coastal environment while learning more about local conservation efforts.

By taking part, you can:

• Meet your neighbours and build a strong sense of community Improve biodiversity and the conservation value of natural areas
• Help stabilise coastal dunes and increase their resilience to erosion
• Learn more about conservation and future volunteering opportunities
• The day will involve planting a variety of important native species throughout the coastal dune system.

Planting will be carried out by community members, guided by City staff and experienced conservation volunteers. No prior experience is required.
