Create a nature haven

Connect with nature

Connecting with nature can improve mental health, reduce stress, and increase overall well-being.

Discover your local biodiversity

The more we can reveal and record our local biodiversity the better informed we are to protect and improve the habitats that support it.

Support environmentally significant locations

Residents who live close to environmentally significant locations have an additional opportunity to support Maroondah’s natural environment.

Protect our bushland

Bushland reserves are fragile and human disturbance can have long lasting and often irreversible consequences. Help protect bushland reserves and biodiversity in Maroondah.
