Welcome

The Merri Creek runs for approximately 70 kms, beginning near Heathcote Junction, a small town on Melbourne's northern outskirts, and joining the Yarra River at Dight's Falls, Collingwood.

Friends of Merri Creek is a community group that has actively worked since 1988 to restore and protect the Merri Creek, its environs and tributaries.

Group activities include:

• - Plantings, weedings and hands-on activities
• - Litter blitzes
• - Water Quality Testing
• - Bird surveys
• - Talks, Walks and Tours
• - Campaigns against major threats to the Creek
• - Community Education and Planning
