CONNECTING COUNTRY’S BOOK LOVERS’ PLANTING DAY

Saturday 25 JULY 2015, 10 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.

Connecting Country, with the support of Castlemaine Library, is helping to revegetate the Walmer area, providing native habitat for both flora and fauna. This year’s Community Planting is book themed so we are inviting everyone who enjoys a good read – from the occasional reader to the regular book worm – and whatever your age or interest in the printed page, to come along to the planting day and meet other people who share a love of books and of nature. Young readers are more than welcome to come along too. We are very happy to have award winning local children’s author Trace Balla on hand, who will talk about the role of nature in her life, and as a bedrock for her creativity.

You will need to register for the planting by contacting Jules@connectingcountry.org.au.

As vegetarian lunch and drinks will be provided please indicate if you have any dietary requirements such as gluten free.
If you wish to come on the mini bus (seats limited) please advise on registering and we will try and get you a seat.
We will provide the tools but you might want to bring your own gloves.

We encourage car pooling!

The planting site is on the Muckleford-Walmer Road, corner of Carpenter Lane. Entrance to the paddock is via the gate on Carpenter Lane.

Parking will be roadside on either Muckleford-Walmer Rd, or Carpenter Lane. The site will be fully sign posted. Visit the google-maps link (CLICK HERE) or see the satellite photo below.
