	3 Priority Projects Ashfield Flats - Bringing back the birdlife Saving our river banks Bringing our floral heritage home Back

	Ashfield Flats The conservation area at Ashfield Flats is losing its qualities because a drain through the middle has changed water flows and vegetation. Birdlife is regularly disturbed by dogs. Rerouting the drain and making it a stream will provide habitat for birds such as swans, improve the quality of water reaching the river and prevent dogs reaching the conservation area. It is also expected to reduce the mosquito problem. How you can help .... We hope to plant 2008 trees in 2008. Email if you can help! We also need help in seeking out and writing grant applications to various Federal, State and private agencies. Top
	Saving our river banks Wave action from boat wash is undermining our foreshore, trees are falling into the river and rushes that provide habitat for fish are being destroyed. Unless we do something there will be no shady trees along the Swan River and few fish for recreational fishers. Trials need to be done into different ways of protecting the foreshore and boats need to travel at lower speeds to minimise wash. How you can help .... Help us build and install trial treatments. Grow rushes and trees at home - it's easy Work with the Swan River Trust to report speeding boats Top
	Bringing our floral heritage home The use of introduced plants in our gardens means we need to use fetiliser that often reaches our rivers contributing to algal blooms. Scare water resources are needed to maintain their beauty, our native animals and birds don't get a balanced diet and we have to travel to see our beautiful wildflowers. How you can help .... Help us plan and publicise a demonstration garden. Help establish and run a 'best local plant garden competition'. Plant local plants in your own garden.
