The mighty volunteer groups helping to keep Maribyrnong beautiful

Behind the scenes of Maribyrnong’s reserves, waterways and streets are dedicated volunteers that donate their time and effort to help keep our City beautiful.

With support from Council, nine groups made up of over 200 members meet regularly to mulch, plant, remove weeds and pick up rubbish.

In 2018 alone, these mighty groups have collectively:

• planted around 9,000 native plants
• removed about 13,000m³ of weeds
• mulched 150m³ around plants, and
• picked-up around 5,880 bottles and cans, and
• removed 3 tonne of other general rubbish.

Maribyrnong City Council would like to give a special thank you to all the members of these groups for their outstanding efforts:

• Friends of Cruickshank Park

• Friends of Stony Creek
