Merri Creek Management Committee has a big job as the environmental coordinator of the creek habitat corridor. 

That is why we ask you, as someone who cares about Merri Creek, to give a tax-deductible donation to help this important work to continue.  Donations in previous years has already played a vital role in helping Merri Creek.

Help our endangered Growling Grass Frogs

In 2023, we need your help to find out more about the endangered Growling Grass Frogs that we've been surprised to see and hear in the Merri Parklands in northern Fawkner. It has been many decades since these frogs have been recorded this far south on the Merri, so we want to know whether they're breeding in the vicinity, whether they’ll make use of the new wetland that Merri-bek Council has developed nearby, and how they can thrive in the Merri Parklands. Your donation will help us to find out.

What do we do?

Donations to the Merri Creek Environment Fund provide a long-term and independent source of funding for the benefit of Merri Creek. The Fund is managed by the Merri Creek Management Committee, a community-based not for profit group established in 1989.

The Fund supports projects that revitalise the creek and that provide vital opportunities for local communities to get involved in restoring the environment.

Thank you for your interest in the health of the Merri Creek and your support of its restoration.
