FOR THE CONSERVATION, REHABILITATION, AND PROTECTION OF YELLAGONGA REGIONAL PARK

Welcome to Friends of Yellagonga

We’re a not-for-profit and non-government conservation group whose mission is to promote and participate in the rehabilitation and protection of Yellagonga Regional Park, Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar, to ensure long-term environmental sustainability and compatible human use.

It’s a special place to us, full of rich biodiversity and stunning natural beauty.

Think turtles, bandicoots, cockatoos, kangaroos, wildflowers, and hundred-year-old trees.

And we have been here since 1992 to make sure that future generations can enjoy it as much as we do.

We currently manage the following sites.

Our Nursery

Yellagonga is truly an incredible ecosystem, so an important part of its conservation is in ensuring the plant population thrives.

Our specialised nursery is what powers us on our mission. It’s where we grow the natives that we plant, each one endemic to the Yellagonga Park area. Nearly every single native species we plant is grown here from seed, every season, and are then planted in the park to help revitalise the area.
