Meet the team.
Jessica Gerger - President
Jessica joined the FOKC with a passion for wildlife and plants and because she’d run out of room in her garden. She has been president for seven fabulous years and loves it. She likes to say hello to every person, plant, animal and insect she meets.
Linda Roberts - Treasurer
AKA “Legenda” - Linda is our rock. There is no place she would rather be than “down the creek”. She takes no nonsense from weeds and tends to the plants with love. Linda was president of the group for many successful years.
Penny Francis - Secretary
Penny is a go-getter and we are thrilled she is on the team. She was integral in the Walan-walan project among others and is an endless source of exciting ideas.
Tanya Druce - Vice-President
Tanya is proud Wiradjuri woman living in Albion. Her time spent by the creek weeding, planting, watering and yarning with the team are the highlight of her week. She has learned such a lot about the Indigenous plants and s keen to learn more about Aboriginal plant use.
Gerard Morel - Melbourne Water
Gerard is unstoppable. His enthusiasm is infectious and he spurs us on to achieve great things. Ever helpful and always there, we’d be lost without him.
Richard Tregear - Assistant Secretary
Richard brings his passion and organisation to the group - as well as a wonderful family of dedicated helpers. Three cheers for the Tregears!
Plus our many wonderful
volunteers, friends, families,
supporters and sponsors.
Deep gratitude to our
sponsors, partners and supporters.
