1 Day 1,000 Volunteers 40,000 Trees
Posted on 19 June, 2015 by Connecting Country
On Saturday 11 July 2015, 1000 volunteers will descend from across Victoria to plant 40,000 indigenous trees and shrubs in North Harcourt.
The project, which is a combined effort of the Harcourt Valley, North Harcourt and Barkers Creek Landcare groups is a unique opportunity to help create and restore a large area of habitat in just a few hours.
The groups have put an enormous amount of effort into ensuring the day will run smoothly and effectively – now they just need the people power to make it happen.
Threatened woodland birds such as the Brown Treecreeper need large well connected patches of bush to thrive. The 40,000 plants will help create and connect wildlife corridors in the Mount Alexander North priority zone; which is one of Connecting Country’s 11 Woodland Bird priority zones ( see this page for more).
Register to volunteer on your own, with a friend, with family or as a group. Participants are advised to register in advance, however you can still sign up on the day. But it will really help the groups to have your registration in advance!
