A very special way to wrap up this year’s Yeagarup clean-up.
This year we removed an estimated 200 kg of rubbish — around 3.7 m³ — from the Yeagarup area.
That’s still far too much, but it’s also a major reduction on previous years, which is really encouraging.
A huge thank you to Friends of Yeagarup, including those who travelled from Perth and beyond and made a weekend of it, along with DBCA, Keep Australia Beautiful WA, Tangaroa Blue, the Pemberton YES Cadets and every volunteer who came along and helped.
And there was something very special waiting for us at Crossings Bakery.
Behind us in the photo is a crab-net wreath created by artist Merle Davis, using rubbish collected during our 2025 Yeagarup clean-up. The artwork was organised by the wonderful Shirley from Keep Australia Beautiful WA as a reminder of what is being removed from these places — and why these clean-ups matter.
It will now be on display at Pemberton Crossings Bakery.
Every year, we hope there is a little less to collect.
