We Love Aintree National Tree Day Sustainability Festival

July 27 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free

Come and join in our Sustainability Festival as we seek to plant 5,000 native grasses and salt bush at Aintree Reserve

 

This National Tree Day is going to be bigger than ever with our largest community revegetation effort, planting 5,000 native grasses and salt bush on the rocky knoll at Aintree Reserve. And one of these liucky plants will be the 20,000th plant planted by over 2,000 volunteers in our Revegetation projects.

Also, at this year’s event we will be hosting a Sustainability Festival with a native plant nursery, art & craft activities, native animal photography exhibition, kids art display, and food & beverages. It’s going to be massive!

The grassland planting starts at 9.00am for a safety briefing and planting demonstration. We do request that everyone trys to make it to site for this so we can conduct this planting day as safely as possible

What to Bring: Suitable clothing for the weather, sturdy closed in shoes/boots, refillable water bottle, garden gloves (optional). This is a minimum waste event.

Kids are more than wlecome to attend with adult supervision, in fact we believe that these are fantastic events for kids to get their hands dirty, learn about the environment, and engage with the outdoors.
