A Milestone Event
On Saturday 14 September 2024, join Greater Sydney Landcare and Landcare NSW at Campbelltown Hospital to help us plant the 200,000th tree of the Creating Canopies project.
It will be a fun day of community, celebration, and environmental action.
Launched in 2020, Creating Canopies, funded by the NSW Government under the Greening our City program, aims to plant 300,000 native trees and shrubs across Greater Sydney by the end of 2025.
And we need your help!
Event Highlights:
Help celebrate the 200,000th tree planting of the Creating Canopies project: By being a part of this very important milestone, you’ll be helping 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 a giveaway of native plant seeds, prizes, and a Campbelltown Koalas Talk.
Why Attend?
Trees are a vital part of creating a resilient, sustainable, and vibrant Sydney.
Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) Executive Director Resilience and Sustainability, Steve Hartley said:
“Tree planting projects are a great way to engage with other people in your community and make a tangible difference to your local environment. Tree plantings are an investment in the health of the community and an opportunity for locals to connect with and enjoy the benefits of nature in urban spaces.”
