Making a ‘positive impact’ for environment NATIONAL tree day was celebrated on 28 July, with locals getting involved by getting their hands dirty and doing some gardening. Over 5000 seedlings were planted by 278 volunteers in the Kingston municipality. Plantings took place at Namatjira Reserve, Edithvale Common, Mordialloc creek, Bonbeach foreshore, and Carrum foreshore.
The day is organised by not-forprofit group Planet Ark. Planet Ark deputy CEO Rebecca Gilling said “it’s heartening to hear that Australians think that individual action can make a positive impact on our environment. National Tree Day is an excellent opportunity to work together on a local level to benefit your community and the environment at large.”
Students at local schools also helped out on 26 July, planting 1500 seedlings.
