Friends of Malabar Headland

The founding members of Friends of Malabar Headland have looked after the Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS) for 30 years, weeding bitou, lantana and pampas. FoMH was formed in April 2000. We continue weeding every week on Thursday and Sunday mornings, 9am-1pm. We hold information stalls at various community events in Maroubra and Malabar throughout the year. ESBS is a unique association of special plants that grow on 10,000+ year old sand dunes, extremely low in nutrients. Consequently there is a very high number of individual plant species present in ESBS - over 360! It is precious, unique and under threat. We intend to make sure it is protected.
