National Tree Planting Days

Schools and environmental groups across Wyndham are working their green thumbs this month as part of National Tree Planting Day – and residents are being invited to join in.

Trees will be planted at venues across Wyndham, focusing on the banks of the Werribee River, Skeleton Creek and Little River.

Residents can take part at any of the following National Tree Planting Day events in Wyndham:

* July 30th at Hoppers Drain at 11am along the Skeleton Creek (Mel Ref: 203 B11) organised by the Bellbridge Primary School;
* July 31st at Manorvale Parade at 10am along the Werribee River (Mel Ref: 205 F6) organised by Manorvale Primary School;

The tree planting forms part of the Waterway Revegetation Project which will help regenerate the Werribee River, Little River and Skeleton Creek. As part of the project, over 37,000 plants will be planted along the banks of these waterways.

As well as a variety of different trees, participants will also be planting grasses and wildflowers to improve the biodiversity of flora in Wyndham.
