Woodlands Reserve in Andergrove will be the focus of this year’s National Tree Day in Mackay, with Mackay Regional Council calling for volunteers to pull out their green thumbs.
This year’s event will be held on Sunday, July 31, from 8.30am to 12.30pm at Ficus Crescent, Andergrove.
This site has strong community interest, and the tree planting event will help to enhance the natural areas of reserve and will complement the upcoming Woodlands District Park project.
Council is aiming to plant up to 1300 plants at National Tree Day.
Get your hands dirty for a good cause by registering as a volunteer for National Tree Day at treeday.planetark.org/site/10026765.
Please wear sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and bring a water bottle. If you have your own gloves and gardening equipment, please bring them along. A free barbecue will be provided to everyone who participates in this event.
Registrations close at 5pm on Thursday, July 28.
