Friends of Merri Creek @ Edgars Creek

Hi Folks,

We are planting again this Sunday at the Norfolk Court site.

Usual times/set-up with Ben and me on site earlier than the advertised 1-3 PM time slot.

Let us know if you want to help earlier in the day and we can liaise to make it work!

It's looking like proper winter weather with a top of 14 degrees and perhaps just a shower or two at this stage (though that is likely to change between now and Sunday).

Sunday 15th June 2025, 1:00pm - 3.00pm.
Planting: Stream bank revegetation at the Norfolk Court site.

Hosted by the FoMC @ Edgars Creek, supported by Melbourne Water  - LCLW Grant.

Meet creekside at the Norfolk Court site, Coburg North – access via the gate at Norfolk Court (and turn left; or for the more intrepid, just go straight down over the escarpment!).

This will be a planting of mainly trees and shrubs. See the plant list below. 

Hope to "See you on the Creek!"

Regards, 

David.
