City of Parramatta National Tree Day

The objective of City of Parramatta’s National Tree Day 2025 event is to plant 10,000 native seedlings at the reserve along Dorahy Street in Dundas, continuing our multiyear rehabilitation and revegetation project at this site. The vegetation at this reserve is part of the critically endangered Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest Community, which is heavily fragmented and has only 0.5% of its original extent remaining intact. The aim of this project is to stabilise the creek line and provide essential habitat for our native wildlife.
