Site information and activities:

Ngarri-djarrang is the largest grassland in the inner reaches of Merri Creek.  It is considered of state significance for conservation, and it supports critically endangered plant species and plant communities.

We will be hand weeding amongst the gravel edges where Wednesday Volunteers planted in 2023 and 2024.  Our efforts will help to ensure the healthy establishment of these plants, protect against weed invasion, and showcase some of the special plants that occur along the Merri.

Please bring water, sunscreen and a hat.  It's important that you wear suitable protective clothing: long sleeves, long pants and enclosed shoes. We also encourage you to bring insecticide and familiarise yourself with preventative measures for the Buruli Ulcer.

We will finish work around 12 midday.

MCMC will supply clean hand tools and gloves; however, you are welcome to bring your own.

Please don't attend if you are feeling unwell or have cold or flu-like symptoms.

Any children (under 18) attending must at all times be in the company of, and under the direct supervision of, their parent or guardian.
