Frog BogSaturday 3 June, 2-4pm

Reservoir Scout Hall, Leamington Street, Reservoir - see Google map
Local ecologist, David De Angelis, will lead us on a virtual walking tour of “good” froggy habitat and show how you can incorporate them at home, in your local wildlife corridor or as part of a conservation group. This will include key habitat elements for frogs, biological information on local frog species, and how to identify them. This is a family friendly event (suitable for ages 8 and up). Light refreshments will be provided.

Registration is essential - HERE.
Friends of Edwardes Lake will be selling frog habitat plants, with funds to go towards their conservation work. Funded by Melbourne Water and the City of Darebin. Supported by Friends of Edwardes Lake & MCMC.

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.
