> Minders of Tuggeranong Homestead (Inc) a founding
member of the 
> Southern ACT Catchment Group, is a small but
active and very 
> committed group of volunteers in the
Tuggeranong Valley. Since our 
> formation in 1992 we have been
dedicated to protecting, preserving 
> and enhancing the natural
and historic environment of this heritage 
> listed property. 
> We are very keen to widen our active membership, and we invite 
> people in the district to consider joining us in our work. Some of
> the projects we are involved in: 
> Restoring
biodiversity to the old Tuggeranong Creek line and the 
> historic
orchard by planting of native grasses and trees 
> Caring for a
small area of remnant yellow box grassy woodland 
> Protecting
remaining historic trees on the property, including the 
>
orchard, and caring for a nineteenth century garden we re-established 
> Promoting sustainable water use on the property through the 
> installation of water tanks (after MOTH’s success in
obtaining a 
> Commonwealth Government Community Water Grant) 
> Running a public program of cultural/educational events on the 
> property, events which include exhibitions, talks, school tours,
> musical recitals and family reunions. 2009 will see us
collaborating 
> with the Tuggeranong Arts Centre on a digital
archive project called 
> ‘Tales of Tuggeranong’. 
> We welcome any interested members of the public to join our group,
> and especially those who are willing to lend an active hand at
the 
> property as often as you can spare the time at weekdays or
weekends.
