Local Environment / Friends Groups
Many local residents are working to improve the habitat and connectivity of our reserves. If you are interested in getting involved, either join with one of the existing groups (see below) or start your own in your local reserve. If you are interested in starting work in your local reserve contact the Bushland Team at Maroondah City Council (9294 5677) to discuss how your effort and enthusiasm can be best directed.
The Maroondah City Council website provides further detail about many of the reserves and walks in Maroondah http://www.maroondah.vic.gov.au/Explore/Parks-and-playgrounds/
