The project will support the delivery of Maribyrnong City Council’s component of the Greening the West of Melbourne (1 million trees) project along the Maribyrnong River corridor in Braybrook, Maribyrnong, Maidstone and Footscray and focus on increasing the area, linkages and condition of indigenous vegetation and habitat for Nationally listed fauna and migratory species, including the establishment of 14,500 trees. The Green Army team will undertake weed control, (including Weeds of National Significance) and revegetation throughout Pipemaker’s Park, Frog Hollow Reserve, Burndap Park and Newells Paddock. They will work in a range of regionally and nationally significant Ecologically Vulnerable Communities and will work with Council teams, contractors, volunteers and Friends groups.
