City of Sydney Community Planting for National Tree Day- fully booked!
Thanks for the great response Sydney! This site has reached capacity and is fully booked. On National Tree Day we'll plant underneath our trees. Understory, or smaller plants and shrubs is as crucial as canopy to make sure there's somewhere for animals to forage, hide from predators, and nest. We’ll plant 5000 native grasses, herbs and wildflowers. By planting specific grasses that native insects prefer, we can support bees and butterflies, enhance pollination, and provide food for little birds. Sydney Park has seen a lot of different lives – from a forest of turpentine and ironbark trees, a kangaroo hunting ground, to brickmaking and municipal waste. Since becoming a regional park in 1991, the variety of plantings have made it now one of the most biodiverse places in the City.
