Bushfire Recovery Program
Trees in Newcastle is pleased to announce that in June 2021 we were awarded a Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife (FNPW) Community Conservation Grant to participate in the Bushfire Recovery Program Nurseries.
Our nursery at Kalaroo Road Redhead, adjacent to Belmont Wetlands State Park has been selected to supply free trees to assist eligible landholders and community groups affected by the severe bushfires to plant native trees to restore habitat.
Hunter Water invites the community to a planting day, to celebrate National Tree Day;"Join us for a community planting day near Grahamstown Dam! Through regeneration and restoration, we can help the flora and fauna that call the bush home, including local koalas and threatened species of bottle brush. π Friday 24 May 2024, 10am-2pmπ Grahamstown Dam (Off Richardson Road, Ferodale)Weβre setting out to plant over 1000 groundcovers, shrubs and trees to help: - improve koala habitat availability and connectivity - improve long-term viability of threatened bottle brush (Callistemon linearifolius) - promote native regeneration, suppression of weeds and restoration of pre-existing native vegetation. Come along for a free, family friendly day in the bush doing good for our community and environment, and see what a difference we can make together.
