Native tree planting this weekend. Sunday 16th May, 10-12noon, QEII Adventure Nature Trail. Corner Frosts and Beach Rd.

Join us Eco Action help our students and their communities’ plant 3000 native trees and plants they have grown. 

• Great atmosphere with heaps of fellow student and parent enthusiasts.
• Please bring some drinking water, solid footwear, and your favourite spade if you have one. 
• There will be 450 spades on site, so no excuses, everyone can help. The more the merrier.  

Help our community help itself by developing this community asset that will last for generations to come. 

The grown forest will provide habitat and food for native birds and lizards, as well as sequester carbon to help with global climate change. It’s also quite fun to plant a few plants. Hope to see you there.

•  Two at QEII 16 May, 20 Jun,
