Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group Mt Martha Inc

About us

BERG MM is a passionate, all-volunteer, friends’ group formed in 1987 to save the Balcombe Estuary and Reserves from development and to rehabilitate it to its pre-European state, where possible.  Our aims have been to:

- remove plants that are not indigenous to the area
- plant indigenous plants and trees in their place
- monitor and protect the health of the waterways
- educate and communicate the value of this work to the local community
- engage the local community to support the work we do

BERG MM has over 450 members, 110 Active Volunteers (spending 4,900 hours in 2018), and many Business Partners.  With the major support of Mornington Peninsula Shire and Melbourne Water, we have largely completed the restoration process of the bushland reserves and we are now engaged in maintaining the bushland reserves and extending our environmental work to the surrounding natural environment.
