Home › About Us › Friends & Sponsors

The Toodyay Friends of the River wish to thank our generous sponsors. They have challenged us to achieve our mission ‘to restore our cherished Avon River, and its environs, to a healthy and vibrant ecosystem for both riverine and terrestrial flora and fauna, for current and future generations.‘ We have accepted that challenge!

We also have a number of generous benefactors who provide sponsorship to assist us, but we are always seeking more for the mammoth task we have ahead. If you are interested in sposoring TFOR, please contact us.

Vernice

In November 2012, they provided funding to purchase a new wheeled brush cutter, making life so much easier, and the task less labour intensive. Thanks Vernice!
