Connecting Country and Harcourt Valley Landcare Group invite you to a National Tree Day Planting on Sunday 26 July 10am to 12pm.

We will be planting a mix of grasses and shrubs along Barkers Creek at Harcourt (just north of the playground) to help create habitat and restore vegetation to this area.

There will be activities for the whole family, with nest box painting, water-watch bug identification, a wren garden demonstration, colouring and more.

A free BBQ lunch will be provided by Rotary Castlemaine.

When: Sunday 26 July from 10am to 12 pm

Where: Barkers Creek at Harcourt. Park just north of the playground along High Street and follow the signs across tollgate bridge and to the picnic ground. – See Map

Please bring: Your own drinking water and your favourite planting tools.

This event offers an opportunity for the Mount Alexander community to come together and support Harcourt to restore and enhance our local biodiversity. All welcome!
