National Tree Day at Hampton Street Link

National Tree Day will be celebrated locally on Sunday 20th May 9am-12:30, at Hampton Street Link, the 20m wide- 200m long landcare site that connects Laycock Street to Hampton Street and contains a canopy of diverse and ancient gums, rainforest remnants and over 40 species of groundcovers. Here's a brochure describing the special features of the reserve.

The Laycock Street section will be receiving some community affection with a mulched border to reduce the need for mowing, there will also be plantings of groundcovers to replace the exotic grasses.

Earlier this year a team of bush regenerators removed a lantana patch in the middle of the site. The planting day will aim to reintroduce some plants to aid the recovery of the area that receives volumes of stormwater from the adjacent development.

A lunchtime BBQ will be on offer to thank those participating on National Tree Day but also to celebrate National Volunteers Week.

All the community volunteers that support the CPPA and TASNG through the various volunteering efforts are welcome to come along for the lunchtime social at 12:30. RSVP to coalpointprogress@gmail, to assist in organising the catering.
