Friends of Merri Creek

The #MoombaParkWetlands are a haven for aquatic species…learn about #MerriCreek frogs, recognise their calls and especially hear about the threatened #GrowlingGrassFrog and measures being undertaken to develop and protect habitat.

“We are hiding with the matted Flax-Lily. Is that a giant Growling Grass Frog, dad? Are there wombats around here? Hope the blue banded native bee finds the Matted Flax Lily to do buzz pollination.”

“June 5 is #WorldEnvironmentDay and Dad took me cycling to see the just completed Growling Grass Frog breeding habitat #wetlands at Moomba Park in Fawkner constructed by #MerribekCouncil.

The Growling Grass Frog is endangered.

The frogs heard in this video are likely common froglets. You might also hear the roar of the M80 ring road nearby.“ - Juliet

“We dropped by the Growling Grass Frog wetlands creation project today. Another month or so and it should be complete. Growling Grass Frogs are a threatened species, so this habitat creation project by #Merribek Council is important.”

Native animal murals on the #MerriCreekTrail in Coburg, Melbourne

Stunning mural artwork.
These are all animal species in the #MerriCreek catchment. We should celebrate them, conserve their habitat and foster their continued co-existence in our urban environment.

This article from January 2023 from the Friends of Merri Creek sets out the issues regarding recovery plan for the #GrowlingGrassFrog in the #MerriCreek Catchment:
Securing the southern populations of the Growling Grass Frog in the Merri Catchment.
Moomba Park is the southern -most known extent of the species and the Moomba Park #wetlands development is part of arresting the decline of this species.
