Planting for a greener future
Burdekin Shire Council invites you to join the National Tree Planting Day on Sunday 28 July 2024.
The community tree planting day will take place from 8:30am to 11:30am and participants will gather at Landcare on International Drive. The planting site is located just a short walk behind the venue.
Participants are encouraged to bring a long-sleeve shirt, a wide-brim hat, and closed-in shoes. Sunscreen will be provided to ensure everyone stays protected.
Landcare has also coordinated with school groups to plant trees on Friday 2 August 2024, thanks to the generous funding from the Port Authority.
Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said National Tree Day is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together and contribute to a greener future.
“I encourage everyone to join us and help make a positive impact on our local environment,” Cr Dalle Cort said.
“The groundwork has been laid with pre-dug holes, so volunteers will focus on planting, mulching, and watering the trees.
“This event provides an excellent chance for our community and youth to get involved in environmental conservation and learn the importance of tree planting.
“After the planting you can enjoy a well-deserved BBQ and refreshments”
Join us on Sunday 28 July from 8:30am-11:30am for National Tree Planting Day and help make a positive impact on the environment.
