Congratulations and thanks for a clean up well done.
Sixteen FOLKC members along with Rebecca helped clean up the Urban Forest East at the corner Grieve Parade and Blackshaws Roads in Altona north.
3.5 cubic metres rubbish was retrieved from the park, mainly rubbish lost from back of trucks using Grieve Parade.
Thanks all for attending our 19th Clean Up Australia Day - Gold watches next year for our 20th!!

FOLKC will be holding its twentieth year of cleaning up along the Kororoit Creek on 1st March 2020, a wonderful record of helping the cause to clean up rubbish dumped in the local environment by inconsiderate and careless people!
This year, we will be cleaning up the Urban Forest East Reserve, a site that attracts rubbish from vehicles passing beside the Reserve - unrestricted rubbish blowing off the back of these vehicles and impacting on the amenity of the area.
