Join National Tree Day on July 28

National Tree Day is a great opportunity to support the fantastic work the Bushland Care Group volunteers do to keep Noosa’s natural environment beautiful.

This year, Council has teamed up with the local Bushland Care Groups to host two community planting events, where all are welcome to come and help plant trees.

Noosa Bush Beach and Creek Care group will be hosting the community planting day at the bushland area on Cooloosa Street at Sunshine Beach, just east of the Heathland Drive traffic lights, from 9am to 12 noon.

Tewantin’s Heritage Park Bushcare group will be hosting the community planting day at the far eastern end of the park from 9am to 12 noon, with access from either Parkview Court or Billabong Way.

“It’s a great opportunity to get outside with the kids, reconnect with nature and make a physical contribution to our environment,” says Council’s Community Bushland Care Officer Ryan Heeney.

“In a real treat for the kids, there’s opportunity at both events to have a photo taken with a native python or a giant stick insect, thanks to the team at VIP Wildlife.”

Anyone coming along is encouraged to wear enclosed shoes and a hat. All other tools and equipment are provided as well as light refreshments.

“Noosa has 19 Bushland Care Groups, whose volunteers assist Council’s natural areas staff to enhance biodiversity in the shire,” Mr Heeney said.                                                     

“Come along and give them a hand and be part of this great community event.”
