Earthcare St Kilda

Earthcare St Kilda was formed in 1989 by a group of local volunteers to help research and protect the Little Penguin colony which lives on the rocks which form the St Kilda breakwater.

Since that time, while maintaining its original purpose, Earthcare St Kilda’s membership has grown to provide volunteers from both the local and surrounding municipalities with opportunities to: help enhance and protect the natural land and marine environments of the City of Port Phillip and Elster Creek, meet and work on environmentally based projects alongside other enthusiastic volunteers, and learn from each other and scientific specialists about the amazing range of wildlife which inhabit this inner city location.

Earthcare St Kilda volunteers work on a number of practical marine and terrestrial projects aimed at protecting the local natural environment, as well as increasing the diversity and extent of indigenous flora and fauna.

We facilitate opportunities for local residents to experience and learn more about the wide array of plants and animals with which we share our lives, and to join in projects which are designed to protect and improve the local environment.
