Join Lismore City Council, Bush Fruits LGBTIQ+ Landcare and Rainforest to River project partners as we come together for a community tree planting day!
Bring the kids and be part of regenerating Lismore’s endangered rainforests. With the support of experienced bush regenerators and ever-caring Landcare volunteers, we’ll be planting >500 native rainforest plants on the bank of Slaters Creek. Holes will be dug, trees and mulch placed out ready- all you need to do is plant! Your hands-on support will help restore critical floodplain and wetland habitat, improve biodiversity, extend existing vegetation and protect threatened species, and build a greener, more flood-resilient city- right way, river way.
Please arrive for a Welcome To Country at 9:30am, and sign on at arrival.
This site is located on Widjabul Wia-bal Country, and is cared for by the Bush Fruits LGBTIQ+ Landcare group.
This site is not readily wheelchair accessible, but is mostly flat and accessed via a concrete footpath. The nearest public toilets are located at McKenzie Park, Pitt St North Lismore.
The event will be postponed in the case of wet weather.
