LANDSCOPE EXPEDITIONS

Landscope Expeditions are non-profit, self-supported study and research projects. Since their inception in 1992, the expeditions have been offered by DEC’s publication LANDSCOPE, a quarterly magazine devoted to wildlife, conservation and environmental issues in Western Australia. They are offered in association with UWA Extension.

Landscope Expeditions answer the need for research to protect the environment, while they respond to the demand for first class interpretation by scientists and specialists. They provide paying volunteers with an opportunity to work alongside scientists and promote wider cooperation in addressing conservation and land management challenges in Western Australia. Any member of the general public can be involved subject to fitness. You must be 13 years of age or over to be registered as a DEC volunteer.

You can visit and gain and understanding of remote or inaccessible places. You can have the satisfaction of knowing you have contributed to our knowledge of threatened environments and endangered species. Unique photo opportunities and the chance to see and handle unusual animals are a bonus.

Participants are not the only beneficiaries. The community also profits from the enriched lives of its members, and from the benefits that flow on from the research findings and outcomes. Future generations benefit from the natural and cultural resources volunteers help to identify and preserve. And on a global scale, Landscope Expeditions help to perpetuate cultural and biological diversity.

Most expeditions have a limited number of spaces. Some expeditions are offered only once. Please book early so you don’t miss out.
