Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek Inc. (FOLKC) are all retired volunteers from the local community and are of an age that makes our members more vulnerable to the ravages of the insidious Covid-19. Because of this, we are effectively shutting down until further notice.

Our Corporate Planting day, scheduled for Wednesday 13 May 2020, was postponed several months ago and is not likely to go ahead this year. The 1300 indigenous trees and shrubs grown for this project will be planted by FOLKC members (practising social distancing) over the next few months, whilst all other aspects of the project have now been cancelled. Melbourne Water, Planet Ark, Signcraft and Toyota, partners in this project, have been notified and are happy with FOLKC’s plans.

Hobsons Bay City Council environmental activities planned for action along the Kororoit Creek during the winter 2020 have also been cancelled, and there is little that can be done by FOLKC other than to suspend all activities for the foreseeable future and ride out the pandemic until a suitable vaccine is found.
