Wildcare Deslacs members are dedicated to the area around Clifton Beach, Pipe Clay Lagoon and the Cape Deslacs Nature Reserve. We work with the Parks and Wildlife Service plus Clarence City Council to undertake a variety of work including litter cleanups, feral cat trapping, revegetation as well as weed control. All this, to make the area a great place for the local community and visitors to the area.

We mainly work in the beautiful Cape Deslacs Nature Reserve and Pipe Clay Lagoon Reserve near Clifton Beach on the South Arm Peninsula. These reserves are of particular importance to migratory and local sea birds.
We have a great time caring for these important coastal reserves with a variety of work including litter cleanups, re-vegetation with native plantings as well as weed and feral cat control. We welcome anyone interested in actively protecting the area’s natural values.
