About Friends of the Yarra Valley Parks
The Friends of Yarra Valley Parks' primary aim is to involve the wider community in conservation and activities within the Yarra Valley Parklands, Melbourne, Australia.
We are an active group, with on-ground activities each month, where we plant indigenous seedlings grown in the Friends' nursery, as well as weeding and other restoration activities.
We receive generous funding from Melbourne Water's Community Grants program, which as allowed us to re-establish the Yaruk Tamboore wetland and re-plant the Murundaka park area. We have a close relationship with the Wurundjeri Council, and Doreen Garvey Wandin, a Wurundjeri elder, named aruk Tamboore and Murundaka for us.
We encourage people of all ages and skills to participate, and when you do you will see the fruits of your labour in the environment around you!
