History of the Society

Formed in 1983, the Society is incorporated under the Associations Incorporations Act. The Society has actively opposed the construction of the M5 East motorway through the valley.

Members have encouraged community use of the valley and conducted environmental walks and education activities for schools and the general community as well as organising bush regeneration activities.
