Tree planters wanted
THE community is invited to help plant 1200 trees for Tropical Tree Day on Sunday (December 1) at Moore’s Gully, Trinity Beach.
Tropical Tree Day is an initiative recognised by Planet Ark’s National Tree Day, held on the first Sunday of December in Northern Australia to coincide with the wet season. The event encourages people to plant trees and care for nature, and its success relies on the sponsors and community to volunteer.
Skyrail Rainforest Cableway general manager Richard Berman-Hardman said residents could help regenerate Moore’s Gully to create an attractive green space for the Northern Beaches community.
“Enjoy free face painting and a sausage sizzle, wildlife and community information stalls plus register to win fantastic lucky door prizes. Planting demonstrations of the trees and tools provided will take place during a fun morning for all ages,” he said.
“Skyrail is proud to mark its 10th year of co-hosting Tropical Tree Day alongside Cairns Regional Council. This event is an important part of our work in encouraging recognition for and protection of our region’s precious rainforest.
