Being our Brumbies birthday on the 1st of August and what better way to celebrate than by planting trees for them! We are aiming to plant around 300 trees and shrubs to beautify Brumbys Run, provide shade and wind breaks for our Brumbies and to prevent erosion. Whilst also benefiting the environment & native animals. We will also be planting a special memorial garden to commemorate some of our Brumbies who didn’t make it and the many who are killed under government management plans each year.
