Noosa Council once again invites the community to participate in Planet Ark's National Tree Day planting event, being held in Cooroy.
Bushland Care Officers Emma and Renata with volunteer Peter ready for planting.
The annual event returns on Sunday, July 28, from 8:30am to 11:30am, at Bagnalls Bushland Reserve.
National Tree Day brings families and friends together by promoting environmental responsibility and community engagement.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to plant 1500 trees, shrubs, and ground covers. The National Tree Day event includes a variety of activities and amenities to ensure a fun and educational experience for all.
"Bagnalls Bushland Reserve, located in the Mary River catchment area, features Upper Six Mile Creek running through it. This will be a long-term revegetation site, which is exciting for both Bushcare and the Environmental Services team more broadly," Ms Smith said.
On the day attendees can enjoy close encounters with native wildlife, courtesy of VIP Wildlife. A coffee van will be on-site, offering a free small coffee to all adults. Experts will also be available to educate participants about the local ecosystem and the significance of revegetation efforts.
The event is free and open to the public. Volunteers are advised to wear enclosed shoes, long sleeve shirts, and pants, and to bring their own drinking water. All necessary tools, plants, gloves, and guidance will be provided, and no prior experience is required.
Individuals and groups can book their spot to join the planting crew – search Noosa tree planting on Eventbrite. Or visit Council's website – noosa.qld.gov.au. Address is Bagnalls Bushland Reserve, 152-158 Cooroy Belli Creek Road.
