Friends Groups in the Whitehorse area work hard to enhance and maintain our parks and reserves.

These passionate members undertake monthly (or more!) working bees to plant, weed and mulch.

The current Friends Groups in Whitehorse are:

• Friends of Wurundjeri Walk
• Friends of Rooks and Dagola Reserves
• Urban Guerrillas - Rooks Reserve
• Urban Guerrillas - Gardiners Creek
