Since 1987, the Friends have been actively involved in planting trees. Seed collected from the Scrub is propagated by Friends and local school children.

By removing invasive weeds such as veldt grass, bridal creeper, olives, rhamnus and bone seed to name just a few, Friends aim to encourage natural regeneration of indigenous vegetation.

Like all voluntary conservationists, our group combines the expertise of its various members in order to promote the long term health of the naturally occurring flora and fauna of the locality.

The Friends of Aldinga Scrub are registered with the Southern Volunteering (SA) as an approved organisation in respect of Centrelink's voluntary work provisions.
