Community Plantings

Volunteer to help plant in our reserves

If you are the kind of person who likes to get some good old soil under your fingernails and get involved in something that benefits and beautifies the environment around you, then community plantings are just right for you.

With the focus on restoring areas of native vegetation and enhancing waterways, the plantings provide shade and habitat for birds and fish; prevent erosion; improve water quality and encourage seed formation to further growth.

Volunteers’ efforts really make a difference to reserves.

Open to all, including families

The plantings are open to all and families are particularly encouraged. Just come along with your own spade or we will lend you one.

Volunteers don’t have to stay for the time if they don’t have time. Just come along and plant as many as you can in the time you have.

For more information please contact the Environmental Reserves Supervisor, 64 3 546 0366.
