Help us restore the biodiversity of this new reserve!
The Friends of Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk currently meet on the first Wednesday of the month at the fantastic new reserve; Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk reserve (formerly the Bellarine Basin) 
Each month, the dedicated Friends of Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk volunteers undertake bush regeneration works through the removal of weeds, log bird, plant and fungi sightings on citizen science apps and monitor the regeneration of indigenous plants. It's a great way to get early access to this awesome site, learn about indigenous and weedy plants, spot some cool birds or meet new people. And we always finish the session with morning tea!
Barwon Water is continuing works at our usual meeting site. We will be meeting further down Swan Bay Road at the second entrance across the road from 355 Swan Bay Road. Please reference the map below. Google Maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fej4hUFu7Z3T4ugy9
Wear a hat, long pants and a long shirt. Gumboots are advised in autumn and winter. BYO water bottle. Morning tea (tea, coffee, biscuits) will be provided.
Email info@bcn.org.au for questions. This program is made possible with support from Barwon Water and Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation as well as the Victorian Government via the Nature Fund.
