The Friends of Braeside Park was one of the earliest Friends groups
which are now attached to all metropolitan and state parks.
It was formed in August 1989 a few months after the official opening
of
Braeside Park this year we celebrate our
32nd Birthday..
The Friends Group works closely with the Parks Victoria Rangers
and is actively involved in:
·
park planning and development
·
tree planting
·
funding of tree carvings
·
seed collection and plant propagation
·
bird counting
·
salinity monitoring
·
water quality testing, and
·
monitoring bats and possums
