Stoney Creek Restoration

Shoreham, Victoria
Started 2018
40 acres
Project value: $120,000
The owners of this property grew up on the Mornington Peninsula, and enjoyed playing in the bush. Having seen how the Peninsula’s environment has degraded in many areas over time, they wanted to help conserve what is left for themselves and future generations. HRF became involved in 2018 and have been assisting the owners in removing weeds from the hills and creekline. This site will soon be hosting guided walks, to show people an example of a ‘works-in-progress’. Stay tuned!
