Conservation & Wildlife Management Metro Branch

*We are currently at capacity and not taking new memberships at this time, please try again later*

Conservation & Wildlife Management branch members use their shooting skills to assist in the conservation of native animals and the management or eradication of feral species. We actively assist farmers, landholders and various state and national bodies in reducing the impact of feral animals on Australia's unique fauna and flora.

We operate across all parts of Western Australia and our members can often be found in remote corners of the state as well as farms closer to home undertaking this critical activity.

CWM programs are a self-sufficient community service to government, landowners and land managers. We are not dependent upon government funding and are a totally volunteer organisation. We are of course fully insured through the SSAA for up to $20M.

This is true environmentalism in action and requires a high degree of skill along with a desire to volunteer and be part of something bigger. Above all you need to bring with you a willingness to volunteer your time and skills, a selfless commitment to the projects we undertake and an uncompromising attitude towards safety. In return you will meet a great bunch of people and get access to properties and project areas that most shooters can only dream of! Cooperation between various stakeholders is critical and although shooting remains a key control method we've evolved into a true land management organisation. Our members perform a variety of tasks including controlling feral animals, collecting data, assisting landholders in checking fences, dams and stock, managing vegetation, assisting with native animal surveys and counts and maintaining ecological communities.

If you feel you could use our expertise, or would like to join, please contact us to find out how we may be able to help you and our environment.

Pictured below are 2 of WA's most endangered species, the Carnabys Cockatoo and the Red tailed Phascogale. Feral cats and foxes are their biggest threat. We are proud to be actively helping to save these beautiful animals from extinction.
