Hi everyone,
November has already been a busy month and we’ve got still plenty more coming up!
News
Community Clean Up @ Thompson St Reserve, Avondale Heights
Ten hard working volunteers collected 10-15 big bags & ~100 tree guards, deposited by the flood, from the banks of our mighty Maribyrnong River. Big thanks to all involved.
Community clean ups are on the 1st Sunday each month (except Dec & Jan). Pics here

Let’s Be The Change
We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of Moonee Valley land, the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people of the Kulin Nation, their spirits, ancestors, elders and community members past and present.
We also acknowledge the urgent need to reduce emissions by 75% by 2030 and to net zero by 2035 to play our part in limiting global temperature rise to near 1.5ºC.
