Council invites you to join for the National Tree Planting Day to be held on Sunday 30 July 2023 at the Burdekin Bocce Club from 8:30am to 11:30am. Be a part of something green and great!
In collaboration with Landcare, the Parkers Lagoon Community Restoration Project has created a new walking track behind the Bocce Club.
Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said that National Tree Planting Day is an opportunity for the community to act and create a positive impact on the environment.
"National Tree Planting Day is a wonderful opportunity for the Burdekin to come together as a community," Cr McLaughlin said.
“Our mission is to plant 200 native trees to nurture the foundation of a healthier planet for future generations.
“Don't worry if you're new to tree planting – we'll provide all the tools and guidance you need. Just bring your enthusiasm, sun-safe clothes, closed-in shoes and sun protection and you're ready to make a green difference.
“Let's sow the seeds of change together, volunteers who come along on Sunday can enjoy a free BBQ and refreshments.”
National Tree Planting Day on Sunday 30 July 2023 from 8:30am-11:30am at Burdekin Bocce Club on International Road. For further information please visit Council’s website burdekin.qld.gov.au or contact Council’s Customer Service Centre on (07) 4783 9800.
