On National Tree Day, we'll plant underneath our trees. Understory, or smaller plants and shrubs, is as crucial as canopy to make sure there's somewhere for animals to forage, hide from predators, and nest.

We’ll plant 5000 native grasses, herbs and wildflowers. By planting specific grasses that native insects prefer, we can support bees and butterflies, enhance pollination, and provide food for little birds.

Sydney Park has seen a lot of different lives – from a forest of turpentine and ironbark trees, a kangaroo hunting ground, to brickmaking and municipal waste. Since becoming a regional park in 1991, the variety of plantings have made it now one of the most biodiverse places in the inner city.

  • Planting site is near the Skate Park on Sydney Park Road.

  • We'll start at 10am and finish once everything is planted or by midday.

  • This is a family-friendly event and parents must supervise their children at all times.

  • We recommend using public transport as there’s limited parking in the area. Please wear enclosed shoes and dress sun safe. We recommend trousers, hats and long sleeves.

  • Bring your own water bottle and gardening gloves if you have them. Fruit and water will be available.

  • For the everyone’s safety, this event may be postponed or cancelled in extreme weather.
