Central West Lachlan Landcare will be working with Forbes Shire Council and Parkes Shire Council to deliver National Tree Day activities.

We are pleased to be heading out to a site off the Bogan Way in the Goldridge Estate on Saturday, 16 August to provide a green buffer for the site.

We look forward to working with Forbes Shire Council once again.

We are heading back out to the Parkes Wetlands for planting on Sunday, 17 August.

This area has evolved beautifully since our last planting at the site.

Parkes’ former Sewage Treatment Plant maturation ponds are now taking shape as a high-value, hydrologically complex wetland, capable of supporting a diverse range of native fauna and flora.

Our plantings work in with the naturally occurring Fuzzy Box species that occur in the area surrounding Akuna Road.

Make sure that you take the time to find out about what you are planting and how it might contribute in the long term to the local environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together, plant a tree or shrub, create some memories and meet new people.

At both sites, we kick off at 10am and we will be cranking up the barbecue for lunch, so we would really appreciate registrations via the Planet Ark website.

If you have already registered, we will keep your registration that is already in the system, just email cwllandcare@gmail.com if you won’t be joining us.

Forbes National Tree Day will be held on Saturday, 16 August from 10am at a site in Goldridge Estate.

Find out more details via our social media or the Planet Ark website.

Parkes National Tree Day will be held on Sunday, 27 July from 10am at Akuna Road. Find out more details via our social media or the Planet Ark website.
