Cape to Cape Catchments

Education

An important element of CCG’s work is raising awareness of the issues affecting our local environment. Environmental education, in partnership with local schools, raises community awareness, develops skills and encourages involvement in our waterways.

Students in the Cape to Cape region participate in activities such as macro-invertebrate sampling in local waterways, water quality monitoring, catchment tours, river processes and revegetation.

In the 2011 the Rotary club of Margaret River funded a teaching program for year 3’s at Margaret River Primary School titled ‘Change and Continuity over Time- A local history and ecology exploration’. The program aims to provide an opportunity for students to learn about the unique values of the Margaret River and examine how the local community has used and interacted with the river over time from Indigenous pre-colonialism to the present day.               

Throughout the year CCG runs a series of workshops aimed at engaging our local community in Natural Resource Management. In the past these have included workshops on waterway management, bush regeneration, weed & feral animal control and tree decline. See our workshop page for more information about coming events.
