The City of Moreton Bay has set a goal of planting 4,000 native trees, shrubs and vines as part of National Tree Day this Sunday, 27 July.
Council has its sights set high with its 4,000 native target and is calling on the support of the local community. In previous years, over 150 volunteers have jumped on board to help, and Council is encouraging even more people to come along this year.
City of Moreton Bay Mayor, Peter Flannery, said that National Tree Day is a great way for people to do something positive for their environment, while learning more about the natural spaces around them.
“Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or it’s your first time, everyone is welcome to plant some native trees with us this National Tree Day. Come prepared for the outdoors in your sun-safe kit with closed-in shoes and we’ll take care of the rest, including a well-earned and delicious sausage sizzle for our incredible volunteers,” Mayor Flannery said.
“Protecting our green spaces is something we all have a role in, and National Tree Day is a fantastic opportunity to do that in a hands-on way. Whether you’re planting one tree or ten, you’re helping to strengthen local ecosystems and shape the future of our natural environment.
“We’re committed to going green as we grow, and that means creating opportunities for the community to get involved in events and initiatives that protect and improve our city’s environment.
“We love seeing the community immersing themselves in nature, whether it’s planting a tree on National Tree Day, visiting one of City of Moreton Bay’s environmental centres, or exploring our 294km of beautiful coastlines and estuaries,” Mayor Flannery concluded.
