National Tree Day

Council is once again supporting National Tree Day by co-hosting a free planting day at JW Manson Reserve with First Friends of Dandenong Creek.

Join us and help plant 4,000 indigenous plants to enhance the biodiversity and create more habitat for our native wildlife. We’ll dig the holes, but we’d love some help planting some trees, shrubs, grasses and groundcovers.
