Join MCMC and The Merri Paddle to safely remove litter from creek banks and surrounding areas and collect important citizen science data aimed at reducing litter. All litter clean-up equipment is supplied, but please wear long pants, sturdy covered shoes and BYO drink bottle and gloves - if you can. (Gloves are also provided). The Merri Paddle will also talk about their work supporting the eventual re-introduction of platypus in the Merri Creek and how you can be involved.
Registration is essential - HERE. Please don't attend if you're not feeling well. Funded by Merri-bek City Council & partnered by The Merri Paddle
