Member Groups
We believe in empowering community to take action for the environment, which is why we are the umbrella organisation for local community groups dedicated to protecting, restoring and maintaining our beautiful natural environment. Our member groups are dedicated to rescuing wildlife, cleaning up our oceans, restoring ecosystems and more.
Watergum provides auspicing, grant writing support and project management assistance to these groups. So they can spend longer where it matters, in the field helping our environment.
You can get involved with our member groups by going along to their activities and events, or joining as a regular volunteer!
