National Bird Week for 2019 will takes place between Monday 21st October and Sunday 27th October.
Event dates and times to be advised.
MEG Bird Walks in 2019 will now be held on the 3rd Saturday of the month. This will enable people to participate in both MEG & Eynesbury bird Group walks if they wish. Bird walk sites will be allocated to hopefully coincide with best wildflower displays.
The Striped Legless Lizard, listed as vulnerable nationally and endangered in Victoria, is not only threatened with local extinction in Melbourne, but 30 individual lizards currently held by Zoos Victoria now face a future in captivity as the sad end to a sorry tale of conservation ‘fails’ as Melbourne rapidly grows.
A partnership between Melton Environment Group, Melton Men’s Shed, Coburns Primary School, Melton Shire and Western Land Services

On Saturday 31th August, 13 people participated in a bird walk in Melton Gilgai Woodland in Harkness Road, hosted by MEG.
Although it was the last day of winter, it was a beautiful spring day, with blue skies & warm sunshine. Flo, Geraldine, Brian, Daryl & Nora of MEG were joined by Josephine, a family from St Albans & three ladies from Williamstown.
