Trillion Trees Community Planting Day

Cleared for grazing in the 1930s and 40s, Guildford Meadows is heavily degraded, with significant coverage of invasive weeds and heavily reduced species diversity and canopy coverage. Our community planting day will continue to restore this damaged wetland ecosystem, revegetating a 6 hectare area with 6500 endemic riparian and woodland plants.

DIRECTIONS

Guildford Meadows is located on the west side of West Swan Road, opposite Lilac Hill Park. The Planting area is within the southern part of the reserve, just up from the banks of the Swan River and to the North of Guildford. As such, the ground can be boggy during the winter planting months.

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

Being a wetland and planting in winter, it is important to dress appropriately with wet weather gear and strong comfortable footwear. Planting will continue in rain and wind so its important to also bring a positive attitude! Volunteers will need to bring their own gloves and hats, however sunscreen will be provided as well as morning tea. There is ample parking on the eastern side of the grounds.
