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 and 2 years ago we celebrated our 25th Anniversary.
The Friends Group works closely with the Parks Victoria Rangers
and is actively involved in:
·
park planning and development
·
tree planting
·
seed collection and plant propagation
·
bird counting
·
salinity monitoring
·
water quality testing, and
·
monitoring bats and possums
