Join Us in Creating Canopies in Liverpool
On Saturday 27 July 2024, join Greater Sydney Landcare and Liverpool City Council at Schoeffel Park for an unforgettable morning of tree planting, community bonding and family fun.
This event is part of Creating Canopies, a multi-year project by Landcare NSW and Greater Sydney Landcare to plant 200,000 native trees and associated shrubs across Greater Sydney by the end of 2025. Creating Canopies is proudly funded by the NSW Government under the Greening our City program, which aims to help reduce urban heat in Sydney.
Event Highlights:
Plant 2,000 Native Trees and Shrubs: Green community space in the Liverpool LGA – contribute to the Creating Canopies project and help reduce urban heat while creating valuable habitats for local wildlife.
Fun for All Ages: No experience necessary. We provide gardening gloves, tools, and training. Bring your family and friends for a day of hands-on planting.
Free Lunch and Entertainment: Enjoy a delicious sausage sizzle lunch on us. Plus, there’ll be live music, face painting, and an Indigenous weaving workshop by the talented Tarni Eastwood of Nula Weaving.
Barista-made Coffee and Sweet Treats: Available for purchase to keep you energised throughout the day.
Why Attend?
“We’re looking for volunteers to plant with us,” says Ms Danielle Packer, Creating Canopies Project Manager for Greater Sydney Landcare.
“Our plantings offer a fantastic day outdoors, and volunteers regularly tell us how rewarding it feels to do something positive for nature.”
The benefits of green spaces are immense—improving physical health, lowering stress levels, and creating cooler environments.
“The trees we plant will not only cool down Schoeffel Park and wider Sydney, but they’ll also provide vital habitats for birds and other wildlife,” said Ms Packer.
