Celebrate National Tree Day by joining a community planting event focused on enhancing urban biodiversity. This engaging activity invites families to plant native grasses, herbs, and wildflowers that support local insects and birds, creating a safer habitat corridor for wildlife.
You will be planting 5000 native plants including grasses that attract bees and butterflies, helping to improve pollination and food sources for birds. The event is designed for all ages, making it a perfect opportunity for parents and children to connect with nature and learn about urban ecology.
There are two planting sessions available: Friday 25 July and Sunday 27 July, both from 10am to 12pm. The planting will take place at Harold Park and Federal Park in Glebe. The event will start promptly at 10am and finish by midday or once all plants are in the ground. Parents are required to supervise their children throughout.
The primary location is Harold Park, next to Tramsheds at 1 Dalgal Way, Forest Lodge NSW 2037. Public transport is recommended due to limited parking. The area is accessible and suitable for families.
Please wear enclosed shoes, sun-safe clothing such as hats, long sleeves, and trousers. Bring a water bottle and gardening gloves if possible. Fruit and water will be provided. Note that the event may be postponed or cancelled in extreme weather for safety reasons.
This is a free event, but registration is encouraged to secure your spot. Choose your preferred planting day and register accordingly. This is a wonderful chance to contribute to local environmental sustainability while enjoying a community outdoor activity.
