Cumberland City Council - National Tree Day Central Park Lidcombe

The park has several established, mature trees but is lacking in native shrubs and grasses. To ensure a balanced approach in supporting local wildlife, it is important that we plant additional shrubs and grasses at this site. The focus of this site will be to plant additional shrubs and grasses to provide additional habitat for smaller animals such as native bees and small birds. We will also plant an additional 50 trees at the site.
