The Conservation Council of WA is committed to running several key events each year, including our Annual Conference and Community Conservation Awards towards the end of the year, and our Environment Matters series throughout. These events provide regular opportunities for our community to connect around the issues that matter to them, and to collaborate in their efforts to protect Western Australia's natural environment. If you'd like to attend, sign up for updates to be the first to know when tickets go on sale!
Annual Conference
Our Annual Conference is the flagship event for conservation and climate professionals, volunteers, and the community in Western Australia. This annual gathering is a key opportunity to network, collaborate, and learn from the incredible community dedicated to protecting our unique environment. This year, instead of our usual two-day conference, we're hosting a smaller, one-day Regional Gathering. This format is designed to strengthen regional connections and highlight local perspectives and initiatives. We'll have more information in the coming months, so stay tuned!
Environment Matters
One of our longest-running forums, the Environment Matters series, is held every second month and brings critical conservation and sustainability issues to a public audience. These two-hour seminars typically run on Wednesday evenings and explore a different environmental theme each time, featuring experts and stakeholders from government, industry, and the community. The Environment Matters series provides an engaging forum where the public can hear diverse perspectives, ask questions, and actively contribute to discussions on the environmental challenges shaping our state.
Community Conservation Awards
In 2026, we're celebrating 32 years of Community Conservation Awards, recognising the outstanding environmental achievements made by individuals and community groups across Western Australia. The awards ceremony will be held on Thu 3 Dec at Kidogo Arthouse as part of CCWA's end-of-year celebration. Nominations are now open!
