The Yarra Riverkeeper Association is a community advocate for the health, care and protection of the Yarra, Birrarung.

From source to sea, we support the community voices caring for the River.

Together we take action to

  • protect the Yarra, Birrarung from pollution
  • conserve and enhance its biodiversity
  • deepen our understanding of the river as a living entity
  • encourage development that gives back to, rather than takes from,
    the River.
