Sunday Activities – 4th Sunday of the Month, 10 am to 12 Noon, March to November.
You don’t have to stay for the entire session – even an hour of your time would make a valuable contribution to the Yarra Valley Park environment.
COVID-19 Precautions: Carry a fitted mask. We are working outside so you won’t have to wear the mask unless you cannot maintain 1.5m separation in non-family-group situations. You are encouraged to bring your own hand sanitiser and to practice good hygiene.
Parks Victoria Requirements: Since we work on Parks Victoria land, you have obligations to create your ParkConnect account and to have a Working-with-Children-Check. For details, read About ParkConnect and the Working With Children Check (200 Kb PDF).
On the day: Bring your own drinking water, and maybe some nibbles for yourself. You will need old clothes and sturdy shoes, gardening gloves, a parka, hat and sunscreen, and a water bottle. Wear long pants. You may also like to bring insect repellent.
