The Friends of the Yarrowee River is a community group that aims to work actively to enjoy, restore and protect the Yarrowee River and its environs, between Brown Hill and Magpie.

FoYR holds restoration events, such as tree planting and Clean Up Australia Day, as well as events to enjoy and promote the river, such as guided walks and bike rides.

The FoYR has been ongoing since the 1980s. Over 2025 and 2026 we have been involved in the Urban Ripple tree planting projects, having two planting sites in Brown Hill and Redan.

You are encouraged to join us by emailing your details. Join our mailing list and Facebook page to stay informed of events. Membership is free.
