Friends of the WREN Bears Hill is a group of local people involved in enhancing the Wodonga Retained Environment Network (WREN).
The WREN is a network of vegetated corridors and patches within the Baranduda-Leneva Valley. This network links the Baranduda Range, Bears Hill, Federation Hill and the Kiewa River floodplain, allowing movement of wildlife across an urban environment.
We work primarily in the area adjoining Donnington Drive and Peregrine Place (the western end of Bears Hill) but maintain an interest in the management of whole of the Bears Hill area.
Our group meets once a month for hands-on activities such as weeding, tree planting, maintaining and removing tree guards and stakes, checking plant health, and watering as needed. We also host planting days in winter.
We welcome people of all ages and abilities – there are many different tasks to get involved in, and there’s always something everyone can contribute to.
