There are already large numbers of people and organisations doing an outstanding job to help our rivers. These include people involved in voluntary on-ground works, members of conservation groups, individuals who regularly clean-up foreshores, employees of environmental organisations and regular river-users dedicated to river protection.
In June 2008, the Environment Minister recognised more than 70 community members and groups for their outstanding achievements in protecting out Swan and Canning rivers by making them Honorary River Guardians.

The iconic Swan and Canning rivers are a major part of our lives, vital as a recreational and social feature of our city and a great tourist attraction. They are one of the great things that make us proud to be West Australian.
Whether you are riding your bike or walking, paddling or sailing, fishing or swimming, having a picnic with friends or just driving past our rivers, they are a valued part of our lives.
There are many stories to be told about our rivers and River Guardians wants to share them with you.
If you have photos or stories you would like to share about the rivers, send them to guardians@swanrivertrust.wa.gov.au and we will publish selected items on this website.
Some of the stories we have so far include:
