Come along on Sunday, 27 July from 9:30am to 11:00am and help us to plant 200 native trees on the southern end of Heirisson Island (Matagarup).
The selected species reflect the natural ecosystem of the area and are commonly found along the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan), supporting biodiversity and contributing to the enhancement of this unique landscape.
City of Perth Deputy Lord Mayor Bruce Reynolds encouraged the community to get involved and join the rest of the nation to plant a tree this National Tree Day.
“Our community planting event is another great opportunity for people of all ages to come together and take part in a hands-on effort to grow our urban forest and support local biodiversity,” Cr Reynolds said.
“Urban greening plays a vital role in cooling our city, providing habitat for wildlife and enhancing the overall liveability of Perth.
“That’s why we’re committed to expanding our tree canopy to 30 per cent by 2036 and over the 24/25 financial year, the City planted more than 600 trees and 6,300 plants.
“We also held our third annual Tree Month in May, during which the community joined us to plant nearly 1,000 trees and plants across out city.”
The City of Perth was internationally recognised as a Tree City of the World in 2024, in honour of our continued efforts to celebrate, promote, and enhance our urban forest.
