10th Anniversary of the Friends of Para WirraPrint Page 
In 1989 the Friends of Para Wirra formed from a public meeting at One Tree Hill, and met regularly with the Ranger of the day at Tipperary Lodge, a house just inside the gates of the park. In the early days a small native plant nursery was built there, and members learned seed collection and preparation, plant propagation and planting, and placed local native trees and shrubs where needed.
Since then, the Friends of Para Wirra have learned much and assisted Para Wirra in many different ways. We meet in the Hughes Conference Centre, central Park Office building, on the first Thursday of every month, with a morning working bee in the beautiful surroundings and fresh air, and every third Saturday of each month, usually with another working bee, followed by lunch and a general meeting.
Members can take part in control of weeds such as boneseed, olive and bridal creeper; wildlife and flora research and monitoring; revegetation; information and fundraising stalls at local events; guiding school groups; checking trails; walking trail design; education; historical research and of course assisting and encouraging park staff, with whom we have a great relationship.
