Healthy Habitats
Serpentine Jarrahdale Biodiversity Stewardship Program
Healthy Habitats, or the Serpentine Jarrahdale Biodiversity Stewardship Program, was established in 2009 to support landowners who are managing natural areas on their properties for biodiversity conservation and related environmental values, such as water quality protection.
Why join?

- Membership is free, voluntary and has no legal binding or obligations.
Field days and events
Healthy Habitats runs field days, workshops and events that cover a wide range of topics relevant to the revegetation and management of natural bushland, and sustainable property management. You don’t have to be a member to attend. Examples of topics are:
- Why bushland is important and what plants and animals live there
- Looking after bushland, including weed and disease management, and native tree health

Any landowner who is interested in looking after bushland can become a member of the program. There are different levels of membership depending on whether or not you have remnant bushland on your property.
