What will your World Environment Day awesome action be?

Plant a tree?

Climate change is a big issue but can planting one tree help? It depends where you plant it! A strategically planted tree or shrub can provide shade from the sun and protection from the wind, significantly reducing the energy needed to heat and cool your home which reduces the use of fossil fuels which lowers green house gas emissions. Trees also store carbon and add to the variety of life as we know it. One tree can make a difference.

Backyard Habitat for Wildlife members can now purchase local native plants from Council’s Landcare Resource Centre, 80 Toronto Road, Booragul

Available Mondays only 8am - 1pm. Cost $3.80 / tubestock with discount for quantities over 40 plants. Cash only.

Please wear enclosed footwear and bring your Backyard Habitat for Wildlife member card.

The Backyard Habitat for Wildlife program encourages households to set aside a small area of their garden to assist local wildlife survival though wildlife- friendly plantings. Register for this free program now or at the field day.
