Join us on Sunday 29 September 2024 for our Community Tree Planting Day and lend a hand to help plant native plants along a the banks of the Macquarie Wambuul River?Commencing at 10 am in Hereford Street Open Space Reserve, downstream of the low-level bridge, the event welcomes adults and kids alike to participate in planting native trees, shrubs, and grasses. The plantings will not only provide important habitat for local wildlife including native birds but also improve the health and function of this important waterway.
After the planting activities, the Bathurst Regional Council will host a free BBQ lunch for all participants.
No experience is needed, and we will provide all the necessary plants and equipment. Remember to bring your own water, sunscreen, hat, suitable shoes, and outdoor clothing. To ensure safe hygiene practices, we kindly ask you to bring your own gardening gloves, while hand washing facilities will be provided by the council. And don't worry about a little rain—this event will proceed even in light showers. Just remember to bring a raincoat if needed.
Parking is available off Hereford Street and four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle access to the planting site is ONLY permissible for volunteers with a disability.
