Seeking New Committee Members

Do you have an interest in our Yarra River’s health and beauty??

Our Committee is asking for your help. We need people that walk the tracks regularly and do not mind monitoring the condition of the reserve. We'd like a friends group that will report via email, scribbled note, phone, or talk to us about any of the following:

 Broken boards on boardwalks - Graffiti - Rubbish too large for you to pick up - Tripping hazards - Muddy conditions - Fallen trees from storms

 

If you are interested we have the opportunity for you to join our committee or we may form an informal group with no formality’s but a conduit to the formal committee for advice and assistance in improving this iconic piece of Warburton.

Applications are currently being lodged with Department of Environment and Primary Industries. 

 

For further information please email Gordon Buller, gsbuller@tpg.com.au or Jess Baillie on jessbaillie@gmail.com

Golden Whistlers are often seen by the Yarra in Warby

River Helping Hands

Spring sunshine flooded the river planting site along Dammans Rd last Saturday when 40 locals gathered to plant, investigate, learn, make friends, meet old friends and generally have fun.  The 'group hoot' (owls) as part of the threatened species talk was a highlight along with seed pod craft and learning about local plans to expand our National Park.  Ferns were planted, a new rain garden or 'bog' will trap sediment and filter nutrients before they enter the Yarra and special connections were forged by both children and adults alike.  Thank you for your whole hearted involvement and contributions.

Enthusiastic water monitors!
