Green thumbs are invited to roll up their sleeves and help plant 4,000 native plants at Hopetoun Park at the 19th annual Grow West Community Planting Day on Sunday 24th July 2022.
The annual planting day is one of Grow West’s biggest events and is an important opportunity to rejuvenate and restore local landscapes. This highly anticipated community event was sadly cancelled in 2020 and 2021 but is back this year.
The planting day will be held at Pelican Point on the Werribee River at Hopetoun Park. This is an important site to protect and enhance as it is known to be home to many threatened species and in fact the vegetation community, Plains Woodland/Plains Grassy Grassland Mosaic, is endangered. Our work along the river here will help to improve the habitat value of this important link through the landscape, which connects up with previous years plantings.
