Manningham - Corporate National Tree Day

Manningham Council invites local businesses to join us for our inaugural corporate planting event along Ruffey Creek Trail on Friday, 25 July, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. As part of Manningham’s National Tree Day celebration, this year’s event aims to enhance the habitat corridor around Ruffey Lake Park by planting over 3,000 indigenous plants. Corporate planting events offer businesses a unique opportunity to connect with the community, elevate their brand, and contribute to environmental sustainability. This event also provides a great team-building activity, fostering employee collaboration, boosting morale, and strengthening connections to the company’s mission. By participating, businesses can make a tangible impact on local ecosystems while advancing their sustainability goals and reducing their carbon footprint. Join us in creating a greener future for our community!
