Happy 2022 to all FOLKC members and supporters
There are many more opportunities being explored for development along the Creek but you will need to watch this space!!
FOLKC has secured additional sponsorship funding from TOYOTA, Hobsons Bay Council, Melbourne Water and another of our long standing major supporters - Cedar Meats - which will allow the continuing involvement by FOLKC in ensuring the above projects are progressing!
I am actively seeking further funding from others at present to ensure the viability of FOLKC during this very exciting and extremely active development phase along our fabulous Kororoit Creek - Any takers??
Most of the additional funding will be used to keep existing sites (where access is allowed) at least tidy and not completely overgrown.

Congratulations to all FOLKC members for your input over twenty one years of work to resurrect the Kororoit Creek corridor. This recent award says it all - Well done.
Without your work, support and input at many levels, this award would not have beem possible.
I also want thank all the supporters of FOLKC - industry, local business, State & Federaal Government and especially the community who have participated at the many planting events along our fabulous Creek.
