When it comes to saving the environment, residents of the western suburbs are spoilt for choice for small groups of committed people.

Grassroots, volunteer-led community groups that we can all get involved in - to help change our world for the better.

Don't miss the Brisbane West Eco Fest on 23 August - from 10am to 2pm at The Gap State High School - you can meet them all there (and plenty of others) at the event!

From those protecting and nurturing our natural spaces, to others helping manage our waste and other resources, there are lots of groups to get involved in!
