If you’ve taken a wander along the Cross Country Drain, you will have seen what can be achieved when a community works together. With a combined total of 10,000+ natives planted at our planting days, we need your help.
We have around 3000 natives to plant this year. We will be focussing on the south side of the Cross Country Drain and the area along the expressway.

Start with a briefing at 8.30am, planting from 9am.
Finishing with a sausage sizzle on the BBQ at approximately 11am, once all the plants are in the ground.
This planting day is suited to people of all ages and abilities. Bring along gardening gloves, a spade and a water bottle.
We can’t wait to see you there!

· Trees and plantings to beautify the area and purify the waterway.
· Seating areas to rest and watch the birds.
