Kick-off time: Let’s have a picnic!

This year, July 31st is National Tree Day!

Wahroonga Waterways Landcare is holding a tree-planting and picnic style event where supporters and volunteers can meet, have a snack, and plant a tree.

We’ll be working in an endangered ecological community, Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest, that is in need of a bit of TLC.

Bring friends, bring family, bring your dog (if they are well-behaved and will stay on a leash) and bring your picnic blanket and some food.
