Get Directions

Join Darebin Creek Management Committee and the Friends for a rewarding day of nature, community, and conservation as we plant 850 native seedlings along the beautiful Darebin Creek.

We’ll be planting a mix of shrubs, sedges, and rushes beneath the River Red Gums and Blackwoods, helping to strengthen the habitat corridor and create vital stepping stones for local wildlife. This work supports small native birds like the Eastern Spinebill, Spotted Pardalote, Brown Thornbill, and Grey Fantail—all recently spotted nearby.

  • Help restore and enhance local biodiversity
  • Learn about native plants and creek ecology
  • Connect with your community and enjoy the outdoors
  • Be part of a larger effort to green the corridor from Norris Bank Reserve to the Metropolitan Ring Road

All are welcome—no experience needed! Bring your friends, family, and a love for nature. Tools and guidance provided.
