Join us for a morning of tree planting and helping to restore native vegetation on Melbourne Water land in Derrimut. Friends, family, colleagues and community members are all welcome!
This year we'll be planting between 1,500 and 2,000 native seedlings on Melbourne Water property on Wurundjeri Country. The number of seedlings planted will depend on volunteer registrations, so we'd love your help in making this our biggest planting day yet!
AWA has proudly partnered with Melbourne Water on tree planting initiatives for 9 years, bringing together volunteers to improve the local environment and contribute to healthier waterways and landscapes across Melbourne's west.
The day will begin with a Welcome to Country delivered by the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation. Coffee, muffins and light refreshments will be available before and during planting, giving everyone an opportunity to meet fellow volunteers before heading into the field.
Registrations are essential for catering purposes and to receive the exact meeting location and parking instructions prior to the event.
Family, friends, colleagues and community members are all welcome, including dogs on a leash.
This important work is being made possible thanks to Melbourne Water's funding, and the support of Water4Good.
