Help improve habitat for frogs, insects and other wildlife at Tulip St Reserve next to the Sandringham Family Leisure Centre.
Bayside is blessed with green space but has few wetlands. The pond at the Reserve is one of the few places in Bayside where frogs can be found. FoNW have been monitoring frogs in the pond for the Melbourne Water Frog Census for over 20 years. We regularly find three species of frogs and many invertebrates. A Buff-banded Rail, a shy water bird, was seen here last year, so we think our members are making a difference.
You can help! Join Friends of Native Wildlife and Friends of Tulip St Reserve to dig in a variety of plants to improve habitat for the frogs, insects and birds.
Common Bronzewings are beautiful native pigeons that are under pressure in our area. You can help our local Bronzewings by improving their habitat in one of the places in Bayside they are most commonly seen.
Citywide and the Bayside Community Nursery support us, but we need your hands-on help to plant food for these uncommon birds.
Enter from George St near Wangara Rd. Look for the wire fence double gate on the west side of the former golf driving range.
