A dedicated group of volunteers has been awarded a Lotterywest grant in a welcome boost to protect the Swan River.
The Swan Estuary Reserves Action Group will use the $14,666 in funding to purchase a trailer and equipment to help its 90 volunteers, who carry out conservation work across more than six kilometres of the foreshore.
The group coordinates rehabilitation and revegetation projects including planting native species, weeding and soft erosion control measures, as well as educational programs.
