TWEED Shire Council is holding a community tree planting for National Tree Day on Sunday, July 27.<\/p>\n

Community members of all ages are invited to plant 1000 native trees and shrubs in a mass effort to restore the local environment.<\/p>\n

Tweed Shire Council waterways project officer Matthew Bloor said the council was excited to bring the community together to make a difference.<\/p>\n

“This is a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with nature, learn about our local environment, and contribute positively to restoration while having fun together,” Bloor said.<\/p>\n

Located adjacent to the Tweed’s drinking water supply system, the new planting site will support efforts to improve water quality, reduce erosion during flood events and create habitat for wildlife.<\/p>\n

Proceeds from the event will support the Tweed River Restoration – Byangum project, which is funded through the Caring for Catchments initiative delivered by North Coast Regional Landcare Network.<\/p>\n

Funded by the Australian Government under the Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program 2022\u201323, the program is administered by the NSW Reconstruction Authority.<\/p>\n

Planet Ark’s National Tree Day was established in 1996 and is Australia’s largest community tree-planting and nature care event.<\/p>\n

Features on the day include guided tree planting with advice from Council’s Waterways Team and a communal morning tea.<\/p>\n

Tools and materials are available. Solid footwear, sun protection, a hat and a water bottle are required.<\/p>\n

The free family-friendly event runs from 9 am to 12 pm at Col Wiley Park, Byangum.<\/p>\n
