Merri Creek Management Committee

Help us Create and Grow Merri Creek Habitat

We very much appreciate your interest in Merri Creek, in the community events we run, and the assistance you may have already given us.

Now we're asking you to consider helping Merri Creek through a tax-deductible donation to the Merri Creek Environment Fund.

Our 2017 Special Appeal Project

Our major project for 2017 continues our ‘Planting up the Gaps’ theme of the last few years . There are lots of habitat gaps still to fill along the Merri Creek’s 60kms, from its source at Heathcote Junction to where it joins the Yarra River in Collingwood.

Whatever donation you are able to give will help improve native vegetation habitat along Merri Creek and bring the creek back to life.

Many thanks for your ongoing interest in Merri Creek. You can make a credit card donation to help Merri Creek using the GiveNow button, or you can pay by direct deposit or cheque.

Blue Banded Bees and Merri Creek need a little more help.

Thanks to Crowdfund donations patches of wildflowers have already been been planted. We invite YOU to help plant more wildflowers on 16 July, and to donate to Merri Creek's annual appeal to help further this important work.

Restoration V Rehabilitation

What is the difference between Restoration and Rehabilitation? Most of MCMC's on ground work is rehabilitating degraded sites. But what is rehabilitation? Does it differ from revegetation or restoration? Merle & Merri can help you understand these terms.

Sun Moths, Short Grass and Fences

GSM nice brightened During Merri Creek Management Committee’s surveys of Golden Sun Moth in summer 2016/17 we learnt three important things:

Golden Sun Moths (GSMs) don’t mind how much it rains, as long as the grass is kept short.
Small reserves make it hard for Golden Sun Moths to avoid predators.
Golden Sun Moths live on the Great Dividing Range.
