This year we’re aiming to get 850 plants planted at the Carey Bay Wetlands, on the Pony Club side, to begin the process of expanding the Endangered Ecological Community- Swamp Oak Floodplain Forest on Coastal Floodplain.
At present a mere remnant of its former glory, the hope is over the next five years to bring it back from the brink and create a corridor to link it to other remnant vegetation in the Carey Bay catchment.
There will be opportunities to plant a tree or two, a BBQ to meet the locals and neighbours, a wetland walk and a treasure hunt for the young at heart to explore this rather special bit of bush.
Planting is from 9am till noon. The closest access points to walk to the planting area are from Excelsior Parade, along the track at the eastern most point of the reserve near Angela Close, the walkway in Angela Close, or from Hampton Street.
You’ll also be able to catch up with the local landcarers and find out what is happening with the Threatened Species project.
You can be part of the country’s largest community tree planting and nature-care event. Join thousands of other community groups, sport clubs, faith groups and families, in making a difference to our community, fostering a love of nature and creating positive environmental change.
This year you will be part of a milestone event to plant the 20-millionth seedling since the campaign started in 1996. With your help, we can do it!
