clean up our beaches

I am giving serious consideration to joining a group called “conservation volunteers” here in Australia. I would help do things like re-establish plants and wildlife habitats. My biggest passion is saving our delicate beach dunes. There is alot of exposed coastline here in Western Australia that isn’t protected by reefs or bays, and they see the ravages of storms and to a lesser extent, the tourists. They need to be educated a little more about protecting these delicate eco-systems. It would be great to be part of such a group. As a photographer, I will have a go at documenting my trips and the things we do to help our little corner of this planet. Does anyone have experience with a similar conservation group?

  1. It sounds like your giving wild life hope. That’s great to hear. Beware though, many people may turn their back on you, and think you’re weird. It happened to me. So I know. I had to tune into hopeshow.tv to maintain my inspiration everyday.

  2. Thanks hopeshow. I think I know what you mean. We all talk about “doing our bit” but actually getting off our backsides and following through is almost not normal. As I am in Australia, I don’t know what hopeshow is. We have 4 tv stations! I will give it a shot and see what happens. The good news is, I am doing it more for me, and don’t require the approval of others, I am following my heart. =)
