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
34thBirthday..
The Friends Group works closely with the Parks Victoria Rangers
and is actively involved in:
·
tree planting
·
funding of tree carvings
·
seed collection and plant propagation
·
bird counting
and
·
water quality testing
