Everyone can participate: from planting trees, joining local environmental groups to sharing river stories. This partnership between Traditional Owners, agencies and councils honours Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong knowledge, and seeks to inspire action to protect and celebrate Birrarung for future generations.
A guide to help communities and those who work to support and restore the Birrarung river’s biodiversity and natural processes.
By respecting Wurundjeri knowledge that knows the river as a living entity, we work together to apply that thinking to care for Birrarung.
Councils, agencies and Traditional Owner corporations are working together to produce a map of Birrarung biodiversity.
This will identify canopy gaps, biodiversity hotspots and significant hollow bearing trees to better support Birrarung’s biodiversity.
Our project partners have put on a fantastic selection of greening and habitat enhancement events at this year’s Riverfest.
Monitor nestboxes, hunt for noctural animals, take part in planting led by Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung representatives and hear more about the work undertaken by their Narrap ranger unit.
Melbourne Water respectfully acknowledges the Bunurong, Gunaikurnai,
Taungurung, Wadawurrung and Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung peoples as the Traditional
Owners and Custodians of the land and water on which we rely and operate.
We
pay our deepest respects to their Elders - past, present and emerging.
