We value all our members whatever contribution they wish to make. Financial members are important to our work at Glenfern Valley Bushlands because they show commitment and extent of community support. Members who volunteer with hands-on projects that regenerate the Bushlands are vital for our long term progress and their help is greatly appreciated.

Cacti Conserve Dandenong Ranges Community Bank Uni Print Pty Ltd (9543 7677) (Prints our newsletter) VisitorsGlenfern Valley Bushlands is becoming a popular destination for a variety of visitors. Many people who come to walk and explore the Reserve are delighted to discover the number of birds and plants that are there. Others take the opportunity to sit quietly on one of the bush seats and enjoy the natural surrounds. Some bring their dogs for a walk - on a leash as wildlife share the Reserve with us. Picnickers can be seen occupying the tables and joggers use the tracks as part of their exercise routine. Whatever the reason to visit, Glenfern Valley Bushlands will please and surprise.
PartnershipsWe are fortunate to have formed alliances with the local and wider community who give us great support and help in a variety of ways.
