Ways to be involved at home
- Build a raingarden (PDF, 345kb), it’s easy. A raingarden can be adapted to suit most areas, and they clean up stormwater before it reaches our local river or creek.
- Get your family involved in the Melbourne Water Frog Census Program, and help monitor the presence of frogs around our rivers and creeks. Did you know that the presence of frogs a great indicator of the state of a river, creek or wetland?
- Get gardening help from a Green Gardener. Green Gardeners can give you professional advice and information about minimising your impacts on our rivers and creeks.
- If you are building or renovating your home, consider how you can minimise the impacts of the works on your local river or creek. A GreenLiving Builder can help you find practical solutions to minimise your impacts - find one on from the Master Builders Association.
