Become a Citizen Scientist

Manly Warringah War Memorial State Park is a precious area of urban bushland, rich in biodiversity. The Save Manly Dam Catchment Committee has used a Communities Environment Program grant to commission some of Australia's top ecologists to survey, monitor and record the amazing flora and fauna that calls this place home.

But now we need YOUR HELP !
The more data we collect, the greater chance we have of conserving these natural wonders. When taking photographs please keep to the recognised tracks to avoid causing damage.

Download the iNaturalist App from your App store, sign up and look for the Manly Dam Biodiversity Project. You can then upload all your flora and fauna photos there and help build data to assist with conservation programs. Please also use the hashtag #ManlyDamBiodiversityProject on social media.

Be a Bushcare Volunteer

On the fourth Saturday of every month, community volunteers have been removing rubbish and invasive weeds from the Mermaid Pools environs at the head of Manly Creek below the Manly Dam wall. This is helping to transform the area from being a degraded dump site into an important wildlife sanctuary and place of great natural beauty.

We welcome new, occasional and regular volunteers to take part in Bushcare every fourth Saturday from 9am to 1pm (with break at 11am).

Meet outside the UNSW gates on the Western corner of King St, Manly Vale.
