The annual Grow West Community Planting Day was held on Sunday 21 July with 300 people planting 4,000 indigenous plants. A huge thank you to everyone that helped out on the day and to our wonderful volunteer crew and event sponsors.

The event was run in partnership with Port Phillip and Westernport CMA, Victorian National Park Association, Friends of Werribee Gorge and Long Forest Mallee, Bacchus Marsh Lions Club, Victorian Mobile Landcare Group, Moorabool Shire Council, Southern Rural Water, Melbourne Water, Western Water, 15 Trees & G.J. Gardner Homes, Bacchus Marsh Community Bank, Moorabool News. Special thanks to the groups that assisted with planting on the day – Dera Sauda Sacha, Presentation College, Ballan Scouts.

The event was funded through the Greening the West – 1 Million Tree program which is supported by the Australian Government’s 20 Million Trees Program (part of the National Landcare Program) and Melbourne Water Stream Frontage Program.
