2026 CCWA Annual Conference - Regional Gathering & On-Country Tours

Protect Restore Transform

CCWA Regional Gathering - Friday 30 & Saturday 31 October 2026

Coming together to protect Country, restore nature, and transform the systems shaping our shared future.

Across the South West, our lands, waters, and climate are facing unprecedented pressure, from habitat destruction and forest mining to fossil fuel expansion. But this is also a pivotal moment of possibility.

Join the Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) for an energising couple of days of connection, reflection, and practical action. Whether you are an advocate, a community leader, a student, or simply passionate about local environmental action, this gathering is your space to connect the dots between nature protection, climate action, and community-led change.
