MCMC has gained funds to commence works at two sites where we haven’t previously worked.
Kalkallo: The Department of Sustainability and Environment has granted $9,900 for restoration works amongst stony knolls in the part of Kalkallo Common south of Donnybrook Cemetery. We will assess the site and control weeds around significant plant species.
Campbellfield: Hume Council has contracted MCMC to commence weed management and planting along the Merri Creek escarpment east of the Bolinda Rd Tip site, which is being converted to public open space.
 

Congratulations to Coolaroo South Primary School’s Leap Frog Squad who have won a place at the International Kids Teaching Kids River Conference in Adelaide in October 2011. The squad made an outstanding contribution to the recent 2011 Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids Conference, where students delivered quality workshops to other students. More details in our August Merri News (411KB pdf file).
