The Friends of Merri Creek Inc. committee meets monthly from February to October, and we hold our Annual General Meeting in November.

Interested community members are encouraged to get in touch about joining the committee. Experience or interest in a range of fields is welcomed. From the Merri Creek itself, to ecology, the environment, planning issues, writing, photography and social media skills. There are opportunities to contribute back of house, as well as in the field with any of our Working groups.
