Purpose
Why we exist
We are a community group dedicated to the protection, preservation and promotion of the Jirdarup Bushland Precinct in the Town of Victoria Park. Our group was established in 1999 as the Friends of Kensington Bushland to care and advocate for the protection of the Kensington Bushland Reserve.
Our mission is the preservation of Jirdarup Bushland Precinct in the Town of Victoria Park (Western Australia) and the promotion of its importance in the community.
