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 working bees are held every Wednesday morning.
Volunteers young and old can learn more about the Anstey Hill environment, enjoy the company of others, have some light exercise and contribute to the preservation of the Anstey Hill Recreation Park environment.
The Friends of Anstey Hill have been successful in obtaining a 2015-16 Community NRM Action Grant. We have a Grassy Woodlands Restoration Project underway and the Community is welcome to join in.
Are you interested in the Nursery ruins and the plants growing there now?
