The Mudcrabs conduct regular working bees along the Cooks River. These consist of river clean-up sessions and bushcare/regeneration to restore local native habitat.
You are welcome to attend any of these events – no need to register just turn up. We have tools and experienced instructors on-site. We suggest you bring your own gloves, hat & sunscreen.

Access is via the pedestrian/cycle path half-way between the Brighton Ave and Burwood Rd Bridges, and via the footbridge at the end of Beamish St. Campsie. Car access is via Hampton St or Riverside Rd, Croydon Park. Meet at the change rooms near Riverside Rd. This is the first re-vegetation site the Mudcrabs started in early 2000. Our aim is to develop a mixed canopy of native shrubs and low growing trees, with relatively open areas planted with a variety of grasses and rush-like plants. A lot of work over time has produced a great stretch of native bushland along the river, which provides a food source and wildlife habitat for native birds, animals and insects.
The site needs ongoing maintenance and care.
