Updates:
Walks Project: Full steam ahead 2025-2027! With funding support from the Commonwealth government thanks to MP for Higgins Michelle Anandah-Rajah, work will take place on pilot sites along two corridors:
- Kooyong-Heyington
- South Yarra-Windsor
These revegetation projects will be transformative for us and for environmental action in Stonnington, involving us and our project partners in site design and documentation, weed control, soil improvement, new planting and other habitat enhancement in consultation with Traditional Custodians and land managers.
We are delighted to have begun consultations with Wurundjeri Elders and are currently in negotiations with City of Stonnington on access to sites in South Yarra, Windsor and Toorak; and with Melbourne Water on a site close to the river near our project partners, the Yarra Link Project.
Calling all volunteers! We would welcome participation from all interested groups and individuals. Please get in touch via rewildingstonnington.org/ or drop us a line at rewildingstonnington@gmail.com
