Eco May has begun for 2016, a month-long celebration of WA's unique environment and sustainable living choices. The initiative is run by the Conservation Council of Western Australia (CCWA). Nowhere is this event more relevant than WA, a global biodiversity hotspot under threat. Groups, schools and councils across WA are hosting eco-themed activities throughout May to build community awareness and capability, and involve them in making a difference.



There are over free 100 events listed on the CCWA website, stretching from Esperance to Kununurra. They range from hands-on activities like diving, walking, citizen science activities and planting days, to field days, movie screenings and courses.

Head to http://www.ccwa.org.au/ecomay to find one near you.
