Liverpool residents can leave a living mark on their city by planting a tree for ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Tree Day this Sunday, 28 July.
All residents are welcome to join in this year’s ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Tree Day event which will be held at Brownes Farm Reserve at First Avenue, Hoxton Park, from 9am to 12pm.
Council will provide plants, tools and a free barbecue lunch for all participants. Volunteers will learn more about native animals through an interactive wildlife display while children can enjoy face painting.
“³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Tree Day is a highlight of Council’s year,” Mayor Wendy Waller said. “It’s always such a joy to see families and neighbours coming together, having fun and leaving a lasting gift for the whole community.
“Our bushland is so precious and Council has put a lot of work into regenerating it throughout the LGA. Our work at Brownes Farm Reserve has already led to significant native planting and we’re looking forward to growing on that this ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Tree Day.”
The planting area is close to Cabramatta Creek and provides an important habitat for native animals.
More than 25 million trees have been planted across Australia since ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Tree Day began in 1996 and this year’s event promises to be the biggest yet.
