Spring into September at The Point’s Community Planting Day

BELLARINE residents and local Point Lonsdale community members are invited to pitch in at The Point’s fourth annual community tree planting day.
Hosted by Moremac Property Group, in celebration of the arrival of spring, residents from Point Lonsdale can shake off the cold winter blues and plant trees on Sunday September 8 at 10.30am.
As part of an ongoing partnership with the Bellarine Catchment Network, the annual tree planting day involves planting a selection of indigenous vegetation within the conservation reserve of The Point estate.
Moremac Property Group Director Bryce Moore said the community planting day provided a great opportunity for residents to learn more about the unique natural flora in the local area.
“This is our fourth community tree planting day at The Point and I look forward to working with the local community to plant a range of native plants for residents to enjoy,” Mr Moore said.
“This event is a fantastic way to welcome newer residents to the area and into the community.
“Every year, the Moremac team enjoy seeing residents from The Point and beyond come together to meet one another and bond over a shared experience to make the community a better place.”
Bellarine Catchment Network’s Biodiversity Coordinator Lachlan Forbes said every year the event served an opportunity for community members to learn more about the wide variety of plant life found in the Point Lonsdale area.
“The community planting day at The Point is a unique event where residents can not only learn how to support and protect their local ecosystem, but also pick up some gardening tips along the way,” Mr Forbes said.
“If you are an environment enthusiast or just enjoy gardening, come down and join the team on the second Sunday of September for a fun morning of digging, learning and connecting.”
After planting, residents and community members can enjoy a free BBQ lunch with refreshments as thanks for all the hard work and support.
The event is at Cowry Way Park, The Point, on Sunday September 8 at 10.30am.
