Introduction to Greenlink
Greenlink Box Hill Inc. is based in Box Hill, an
eastern suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
Greenlink is a voluntary organisation that works in
conjunction with the City of Whitehorse Parks and Gardens
staff in restoration and management of local flora. Our
activities focus on propagating plants at our nursery and
re-establishing them in their natural habitats throughout
Box Hill.
Who can join Greenlink?
We invite interested people of all ages to join our
activities. Everyone can contribute, regardless of their
skills and experience. Working together is not only an
interesting and pleasurable experience but also a great
opportunity to learn about, and re-establish, the
vegetation of the Box Hill district.

To enhance and preserve the natural environment by
propagation of indigenous flora.

of indigenous flora.

and migration of indigenous fauna.
