The Friends of Hoddles Creek group was formed in 1999 and consists of concerned residents of Hoddles Creek and adjacent areas, who want to ensure that the special balance of Hoddles Creek is maintained for future generations.

We have several main objectives

• a community and school education role about the importance of native forests and waterways in providing a wildlife habitat and the need to balance this heritage against development activities

• a watching brief over development projects to ensure that regulations related to tree clearing, maintenance of wildlife corridors, water usage from local waterways and use of chemical sprays are adhered to

• a lobbying role with local and state bodies to ensure that environmental concerns are strongly represented in any planning or development activities

• a ‘hands on’ role in weed control, rubbish removal, regeneration and maintenance of bushland areas, especially along local waterways

• documentation of local wildlife populations
