Friends of Mount Majura (FoMM) is a Park Care Group, working in the Mount Majura section of Canberra Nature Park. Some of our activities are
- Monthly weeding parties: removing non-native species by hand
- Re-seeding and re-planting: giving local plant species a head start
- Conducting walks and talks: sharing our enjoyment of the Nature Park
FoMM is supported by the Molonglo Catchment Group, an umbrella organisation for Landcare and other natural resource management groups within the catchment.
