Appreciating our Trees: National Tree Day
On
Sunday 30th July we're hosting our mountain's celebration of this annual event. The morning's highlight will be the planting at our Landcare Centre of local specimen trees prized for timber or cabinet making, to showcase the wonderful species that once covered Tamborine Mountain.
We welcome Landcare members, locals and visiting volunteers to plant a few trees, wander through our native gardens, check out the waterhole, stay for a coffee and a chat - and together enjoy what has already been achieved on the site. This property, maintained by volunteers, belongs to the community for their education and enjoyment.
Our newly built workshop area with picnic tables will be just the spot for morning tea. The specimen trees and the workshop area have been funded by the proceeds of our last Mega Book Sale held at the Landcare Shed and by the very generous donation of half of the proceeds of the sales of Raymond Curtis' poetry book.
Even if you can only drop in briefly, do join us and other like-minded TM Landcare members in the lovely surroundings of the Landcare Centre.
When: Sunday 30 July, 8.30 - 11am
Where: Landcare Centre, Hartley Rd East, North Tamborine
What to bring: drinking water, gloves, hats, closed-in shoes. Tools, morning tea provided
Note this date in your diary - and perhaps plan to bring along a neighbour, friends or family members.
