Tree day

Taking place on Sunday 30 July 2023, from 10am to 12pm at 315 North Road, Langwarrin, this event aims to establish pioneer plantings at North Reserve.

The North Reserve, a former quarry land undergoing rehabilitation will benefit from the planting of hardy, fast-growing species like coast tea-tree, Kangaroo apple and Boobialla.

 These plants will enrich the soil and create a favourable habitat for other species to thrive.

 They will eventually make way for a second stage of planting, featuring species representative of the remnant vegetation community surrounding the site.

While the reserve is currently inaccessible to the public, this National Tree Day initiative will contribute to its transformation and provide important habitat for various wildlife, including Swamp Skinks, Southern Toadlets, Wallabies and Koalas.

Watering and planting equipment will be provided and a free BBQ will be available for volunteers.
