Welcome to Friends of Anstey Hill

The Friends of Anstey Hill is a community-based group of volunteers dedicated to supporting, preserving and restoring the Anstey Hill natural and cultural environment. We were formed in 1988 to counter redevelopment of the Anstey Hill area.

Our regular activities and volunteer opportunities include park maintenance and cultural heritage research. Two community planting days and a propagation day are held each year. Volunteer bush care sessions are held every week.
