Bullsbrook Landcare Group was established in 1997 to tackle issues such as repairing and protecting bushland, parks and wetlands, tree planting and the monitoring of waterways within City of Swan’s northern suburbs. The group has an MOU and works in conjunction with the Chittering Landcare Centre
Our Vision is to have an informed community who care for their environment and have the skills to enhance and sustainably manage soil, water, flora and fauna on a catchment management basis. We aim to ensure that future development will consider ecological values alongside economic and social factors in all areas of land use planning and management.

Bullsbrook Landcare's 20th Anniversary - 21 October 2017
The Bullsbrook Landcare Group (NSLCDC) celebrated their 20th anniversary at the Bullsbrook Museum. After a guided walk through the Bullsbrook Biodiversity rehabilitation corridor everyone returned to the Museum to hear presentations by Mike Bamford, ecologist, David Cook, entomologist and Rosanna Hindmarsh from Chittering Landcare Centre, followed by a yummy lunch and birthday cake and a browse through the Museum. The museum was presented with some seedlings for the garden which visitors helped to plant. A great event - even the rain held off for us! Looking forward to the next 20 years.

Christmas 2015 Fire at the Bullsbrook Biodiversity Corridor (BBBC)
On the morning of Saturday 19 December 2015 a fire was deliberately lit in Defence Land on Gallagher Rd, Bullsbrook. Witnesses were able to provide the Arson Squad with information. This fire spread to the BBBC revegetation area and continues to burn in the peat. Local landcare groups have been rehabilitating this area which includes the Bulls Brook for many years. The workshop hosted Bullsbrook Landcare Group in June 2015, as recorded below, was held in the area where the fire went through.
A huge thank you to the volunteer and professional firefighters who attended and prevented the fire from spreading even further in the high winds. Thank you especially to those local residents and volunteer firees who are continuing to monitor and respond to the ongoing re-ignites. Without you the damage would have been worse. Chittering Landcare and Bullsbrook Landcare Group will record the impacts of the fire on the BBBC over time.
