Yellow bellied sheath tail batsSunday 12 February, 4.30-6pm

Join MCMC guides on a tour of Moomba Park Fawkner. We will be monitoring for microbats which may be using nest boxes and artificial hollows installed over the past two years. We will listen and look for the endangered Growling Grass frog and other local frog species to continue our citizen science project on local frog populations.

Registration is necessary - HERE.

Meet at car park near the Moomba Park Tennis Club, 276 McBride St Fawkner – see Google map.
This is a family friendly event. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather and walking.

Merri Creek: from wasteland to parklands

Wurundjeri panel - featureSee a web version of these fabulous panels which celebrate the outstanding community achievement since 1975 in transforming Merri Creek from a weed-smothered drain to a much-loved waterway running through a bushland corridor: fronts of panels (17MB file); backs of panels (9MB file).

The two metre size panels were originally displayed at libraries and other public places throughout the Merri Creek catchment over 16 months until late 2016, in celebration of MCMC's 25th Anniversary.
