National Tree Planting Day Sunday 31 July 2011

July 31, 2011

What a great day was had at the community planting with a beautiful sunny morning. This year our members were joined by volunteers from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Thanks to Jordan Crook for organising participation of Sea Shepherd members. SDCN has been planting out this creek side site since 1996 and it is delightful to see the plants mature into new habitat. This year we began to plant a section of the upslope land and continued our plating along the top of the Monbulk Creek banks.

In the background fire killed trees and natural regeneration of eucalypt and acacia trees is visible following the February 2009 Upwey/Belgrave South bushfire.

Thanks to everybody who attended.

 

Parks Victoria acting chief ranger Jack Dinkgreve presented Recognition Awards at Lysterfield Park in December 2010 to SDCN members. Other groups recieving awards included Friends of Police Paddocks, Friends of Baluk Willam, Lysterfield Mountain Bike Club and Friends of Selby Conservation Reserve.
