Other local consevation/ environment groups
Maroondah Bushlinks
Bushlinks is the umbrella group for all volunteers who work in their own local reserve, enhancing weeding and nurturing indigenous plants in our municipality. It has broad membership for all “friends of ” groups, and also connections with groups doing similar work in neighbouring municipalities. The most effective way to connect with these likeminded local people is to sign up for the Yahoo group.
If you want to become a member email Maroondah Bushlinks at MarBushOz@hotmail.com requesting an invitation and a note telling them who you are and why you want to join the group, and an invitation will be sent to you via Yahoo!.
